The 145 was a "classic" so to speak and this one weighs around ten stone (140 LBs). It's not a costly job to have it converted to jack, to someone in the know. About 70 or 80 quid here in England. This one had a mini jack socket added for the fast/ slow footswitch and a standard mains cable along with the 1/4 inch input socket plus a little preamp to bump the speaker level up to line level. Or something like that!
Ha! Thanks very much! I started my working life in a guitar shop 25 years ago and on the first day, the Hiwatt head and WEM cab were sitting there. I asked the owner/ my boss how much he wanted for the stack and he said: "You can have it for £100, it's been sitting there for ages. People just don't want that sort of thing anymore!!!"
Thanks for the info! Cheers!

Great sound! How hard and expensive is it to convert an old Leslie to work with a guitar rig? Is the 145 the best choice? How heavy is it?

I remember when Dark Side was released in 1973. It blew us all away....and still does. Rock on David Gilmoure and company:)

Is that a Leslie 45? I have one and I love it, but I had to get a combo preamp to play guitar through it. Nice vid!

Cheers! It's a 145 which I had modified to accept line level jack from any instrument.
