Subject:Hammond XB 2 leslie connector

Hi group,

I have a Hammond XB2 and a leslie clone, a Solton. The Solton has a seperate control box for speed switching, which has recently broken down. I didn't like the extra box, so here's what I've been thinking. My XB2 has a leslie connector, which makes it possible to control the leslie using the onboard leslie switch. Is there any chance that I can control my Solton rotary speaker via the onboard switch?
The control box of the Solton didn't use a relay, it just controlled the 230 V going directly to the motors via a of switches (on/off and slow/fast). I assume the Hammond won't be keen on 230 V.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to do this? I'll probably also need to know which pin on the Leslie connector is what. Can someone send me the pin lay out of that connector?

Many thanks in advance!

Wim
