My dimming memory associates the name with a rotating speaker system used
as a Leslie clone, popular with guitar players c. late '60's, and
originally manufactured--I thought--by Traynor, of Yorkville (Toronto),
Canada. (Mark; you might recall our correspondence about this shortly
after I first subscribed.) I can picture the product clearly (perhaps 20"
square and 12" high) but what's obviously fuzzy to me is the true name
(and manufacturer) of the unit, since everyone else agrees that Roto-Vibe
refers to some sort of effects unit/pedal. Does a Traynor-made unit ring
any bells with anyone? (Rotron?? No; those are blowers. Roto-Rooter??
No, no; that's something else that spins...Rotisserie?? Nah...)

There's one of these things in a local music store.  The company is 
Maestro; can't remember the model name.
