Subject:Re: Leslie motors OK - Question about speaker

Pyle's main market is speakers for cars. The company is called Pyle
Industries. They used to have a pro audio line, but they were never
top-end, by any means. I think they built speaker drivers for Radio Shack
in the 80's as well. Sounds like someone replaced the original with "any
old 15" like you said.

Subject: [CWSG] Leslie motors OK - Question about speaker

Thanks for the help! I just spent some time disassembling, cleaning and
oiling all the motors. They had a tremendous amount of muck built up in
them. The O-rings are in fair condition and replacing them is a good idea.

After cleaning them up and putting it all back together, the Leslie is fully
functional. The lower rotor is still a little sluggish at slow speed, but
at least it all works. The upper motor is making noise and I think it is
due to an "out of round" O-ring. If someone can let me know of a good quick
source for the O-rings, that would be cool.

Also, another question: The 15" speaker in this Leslie is called a Pyle
Driver. I've never heard of it and question if it is the right speaker for
a Leslie or if someone just dropped in any old 15". If anyone has heard of
this speaker, let me know what you think. There are no specs listed on it.
The low end does not seem to be happening quite like my 122, which has a
sweet JBL pro speaker for the 15".

Two things I'd do:

1) Replace the rubber tires (O-rings) on the wheels between the upper &
lower motors

2) Make sure the slow motor is properly adjusted so that it's shaft
contacts the rubber tire enough to drive it in chorale speed, but retracts
smoothly for the tremolo speed.

There are instructions for the adjustment of the slow motor in the Leslie
service manuals, which are available on Captain Foldback's web site
