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

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?

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!

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.

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!!!"
I thought I'd better buy it!
