When I got my first leslie I had a flight case made
for it. I put the leslie in, locked the case and slid
it in on its side into the truck. This was my bulldog
leslie, which has the motor mounted in the lower
compartment between the amp and the drum. Well,
putting it on its side caused the motor to swing and
break EVERY tube inside! Imagine my chagrin when
picking the case up I heard the soft tinkling of
shifting broken glass. Got the leslie out and
#$@&@!*)(&$! if all the tubes weren't trashed. That
incident taught me the value of bungee cords (to brace
the swinging motor). It also taught me the value of
carrying an extra set of tubes.

Alls well that ends well....
