Here is a picture of my 130 conversion. I removed the ugly orange 70's grille cloth and replaced it with 1/4 walnut stained luan (sp?).  Although it is not in this picture, I made a matching removable black upper grille as well. http://s571.photobucket.com/albums/ss153/bossbandbob/Leslie%20130/?action=view¤t=011.jpg

Looks cool and seems like you did a nice job on it !  Years ago I had an 825 /  Leslie preamp B3 combination and liked it a lot. The 825 was pretty loud and even did the high freqs ok believe it or not... certainly better than a 125

Just added pictures & info on my project to add a top rotor to an old 825 I had. Worked out better than I could have hoped.

Files > Spinners > Leslie > 825 Conversion (860)

Only thing is, I got a 2 speed motor stack on ebay a while back that I don;t think is from a leslie. Never saw anything like it, but it works great.

Only concession is the 3-way x-over that I found is rated at 100w (plenty for an 825) with x-over points of 800 & 5000, but using the woffer & mid outputs work fine - plug and go for less than $20. If I can find another motor set, I have a 130 I want to convert, and I'll use the HF output of the 3-way x-over to power the HF tweeter.
