        This is incorrect.  An 860 is compact Leslie using a 120 Watt solid 
state amp and has a treble driver and 12" speaker with treble and bass 
rotors.
        
        As to sound, I'm sure it doesn't sound quite like a 122 because of 
the solid state and 12" woofer, but this Leslie is a definite screamer with 
ear splitting volume.  Several list members use it and like it.  $300-$400 
would be a quite reasonable price I'd think.
