Leslie model info is available from the Hammond FAQ models page
http://theatreorgans.com/hammond/faq/models.html
Leslie Model Descriptions (requires Adobe Acrobat reader) page
http://www.mitatechs.com/LeslieModelChart.pdf
and from TrekII's web site http://www.trekii.com

The 700 was designed for Hammond LSI organs like the Concorde. It has
a roto drum but no horn (710 was a similar model but had the horn
too). That alone would be a deal-killer for me.

You want to keep bass frequencies < 150hz out of the drum because it
has a small speaker. TrekII has a crossover that can convert it (and
similar models like the 705, 710, 715, 720 etc) to single-channel input.

The 700 is 9 pin input (the "least-standard" of all Leslies, and often
used for vendor-specific Leslies). According to the Leslie Model
Descriptions, here's the input for a 700:

1 - DC signal ground
2 - Rotary Channel input
3 - no connection
4 - Stationary channel input
5 - DC output +28V
6 - Fast motor (ground to turn on tremelo motors)
7 - Slow motor (ground to turn on chorale motors)
8 - AC power
9 - AC power
