Subject:Leslie motors - load and RPM

Hey list,

I've been messing around with a Leslie cabinet I have for the past
year or so, just for fun. I've replaced all of the speakers and the
crossover. I need to figure out a way to do the motor control. I've
been looking around at DC and AC motors, and talking to people that
know motors. They always ask two questions:

1) How much will the load be on the motor?
2) What are the fast and slow RPMs it will be spinning at?

I have no idea how to answer these two questions. So for those of you
that know Leslies, how much of a load is the top and bottom rotors?
And finally, what are the RPMs for fast and slow speeds?

Thanks,

Josh
