Subject:Re: Leslie 122 stuck on slow speed

I'm not a tech, but it sounds like a possible burnt out relay or
something in your Leslie amp. The gold mine for troubleshooting such
problems is the Hamtech list. It's a private list and involves you
jumping through some hoops to become a member, but IMHO is a worthwhile
thing. You can elect to go *no mail* if you wish, and just scour the
archives when you need to (your current problem will almost certainly
have been covered). More info at:
