You also have that beautiful looking 770 cabinet powered by the 6L6
Wurlitzer tube amp that the sound blooms from that Steve put together for
you. It is the best Leslie mods I ever had the pleasure of listening to.

Wow, this is incredibly sad news 8^(
I had the privilege to call Steve a friend for many years. When I was out of
work he was kind enough to give me a job working in his shop for quite a
while, which meant a lot to me and my family. I tested, and still own to
this day, his very first preamp. He even went back years later and signed it
inside as serial #1. Not something I would ever part with (he tried often
lol) but it always meant something to me that we stayed friends even when
his company got bigger and bigger and he was a very well known name. He
always had time for everyone no matter who you were. Even when the cancer
was the worst he always had a positive spirit and I expected him to live for
years to come. He was a great engineer, but first and foremost he was a
fellow musician and Hammond player and the music was always the most
important thing to him. He will be greatly missed.
