The chorale before stop is the "brake" function that was available on
leslies as an add on with a tube relay circuit that performed the task, that was
connected to the brake socket on a 122 amp for example. EIS's relays now
offer both "brake" and "coast" models for real leslies in place of the
mechanical original. Having talked with Bob Schleicher himself, he guarantees there
is no delay with his relays and that those wanting the coast feature need to
get that particular relay.

Having mentioned that you now can't adjust the time it takes the rotors to
stop, I'm now wondering how dependent on where the rotor speed is on either
fast or slow, that when going to stop will the rotors react based on that
particular speed (inertia) or is it the same "coast" sound all the time? And
then if you choose to go to fast (or slow) again while the lower rotor is
still spinning before dead stop on "stop," will the rotors react coming from
near stop the way a real leslie would and all the incremental speeds? I have
always had a stop half moon on a B3 and did away with the tube relay,
jumpering the socket direct to achieve the coast sound. Interesting that Vent
designed "coast" into their later models. Shows they have their ear to the
ground. But how animated it is, is what I'm curious about now.
