cedar Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Quick question: I know someone who is asking $800 for a Leslie 710. Assuming it is in decent condition - which I think it is - can anyone tell me whether the price seems good? Is this model decent? I'm looking for a Leslie to pair with my Mojo, either to stay at home or transport for gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxcvbnm098 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Don't forget the 710 is also a 9-pin Leslie connector, so you need to get an adapter to make it connect with the 11-pin Mojo. That's another $200 or so on top of the cost of the Leslie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderSchoot Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The leslie 710 has a rotosonic drum and horn. Because the rotary part handles low frequencies poorly, an extra highpass filter is added. Rotosonic also can"t handle bass pedal.........

ChazKeys Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The 710 is a multi channel leslie consisting of horn, same as the 760, 2 static side speakers, a 15" stationary speaker and a rotosonic drum. This is not going to work with your Mojo.They are not a popular model and in the UK I would expect to pick one up for about £200. I got a 710 a few years back which had been modified to work with an M100. I decided to convert it to a 770 (wood cabinet version of the 760) by removing the side speakers and the rotosonic drum. I picked up a drum from a 760 off eBay and fitted it to the motor that drove the rotosonic drum. As the cabinet is the same dimensions as the 770 it wasnt too hard - I had to relocate the 12" speaker and cut out the baffle board so it lined up with the drum. Works and sounds like a 760/770 - even the speeds are the same. In the US I imagine Leslie's are common and a lot cheaper than the UK - so a 760 should be easy to come by - so pass on the 710.

Actually the 770 is the home/church version of the 760, not the 710 (my mistake). 760/770 has two rotors, bottom one is 15 inch with wood rotary drum, no stationary speakers.
