  1. No, four is better, but you'll need a isolation adapter, to supply power to more than two Leslies. This is due to the fact that the A/C power consumption of the units is beyond the gauge of the wire (in organ and Leslie cables) and the rating of the on/off switch on the organ. I'll reply also to the sonic interaction issue. I have seen many recommendations that you separate by a couple of inches to avoid low frequency cancellation. I always had one next to me (as monitor) and one behind me that was mic'd. If side-by-side, you would want to place mics on only one side, definitely not between! Brian.
  2. There should be no problems with using these two togther. Sort of like me running my Leslie 45 (47 amp with pass-thru jack) to my 21H that has a 147 amp in it, and PM speaker. One tall, one short. Except yours are only 20 watts a piece, versus 40. Brian.
  3. Erik, I have a 1959 A-100 that I bought for $500, and a 1936 Hammond AV with Trek II percussion (I added it), that I essentially got for $100. Paid more for the Trek II than the organ, BTW. I love them both! Since the B2 has the classic shape (like my AV), it is a bit nicer for public display. $500 is certainly a fair price. Brian.
  4. Hi, I'm Brian Lucy. I'm 45 years old and a Database Administrator (DB2) and now live in the Kansas City area (originally from Southern California). I started singing in 2nd grade and started playing the Hammond organ (N-312) in 5th grade. Started with the organ because I was insulted when they told me that I was only eligible for the clarinet for band because of my overbite (my oldest daughter plays it, though)! I stopped playing the organ in college, but started playing keyboards about nine years ago for church events. I then got interested in getting a 'real' tonewheel Hammond and bought a Porta-B and Leslie 45. I was then fortunate enough to trade the organ only for a 1936 Hammond AV and Leslie 21H (which I converted to use a PM speaker and 147 amp after totally restoring the cabinet). I also have a 1959 Hammond A-100 at home. I now sing and play at church with the Hammond AV, a Wurlitzer 200A, and sometimes one of my synths (Kawai K-3, Kawai K1-R, and Roland XP-10). I also play in a Christian blues band, which I have a EMU B-3 and MAudio 61es controller keyboard that I use for live plus one synth.
