Subject:Build yer own?

Why not build yer own? I've stuffed Leslies into more portable boxes
in the past, with good results. By taking advantage of current
technology when appropriate, it seems like a good formula for success
would be:

1. Real Leslie amp, horn, driver, crossover
2. A well matched 12" woofer at 16 ohms w/ some kind of lightweight
drum
3. Modern lightweight dc controlled motors ala Motion Sound.
4. Form factor similar to the Pro-145 with 1/2" top quality ply
construction and judicious bracing.

I'll bet you could get the weight down to close to the 60-70 lb mark.
