Subject:Re: Taking the Leslie to a gig

Hi,
I have recently purchased a couple of Leslie cabinets for different
purposes.
I've read on other newgroups about replacing the caps, which meant
nothing to me but now presume that this refers to the electrolytic
capacitors. Below you mention orange drops, which I might have
thought to be a range of candies but assume refers to something
superior to wax caps.
My newly aquired and soon to be installed 145 might also be in need
of a refit.
What sort of a job is this for a tech, how many caps need relacing?,
and if orange drops are not readily available in the UK do they have
another technical name?
My other Leslie is a silicone job, a 303 dual channel with simulated
bass rotor and perhaps this is not in need of refurbishment?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. (Regarding a previous post)I have decided against the purchase
of a Voce V3 as there were no drawbars available and I have now
combined the use of two modules, the E-mu B-3 and the OB3^2 to avoid
the beating problem that I had.I have e-mailed Oberheim twice now
with no response whatsoever.Thanks to those who advised me about the
Voce.
Thomas.
