I believe the 770 was solid state with a traditional wooden cabinet with the typical louvers.

The solid state leslies did not go the route of the veneer model louvers but there is a difference in the sound coming out of the special louvers, in fact I'm willing to say the sound goes out of phase somewhat pasing through regular or classic veneer wood leslie louvers because of its design. A rectangle hole is easier to do but I would try and not make them too large nor too small. There is some tone relationship also to the height of the top rotor cavity. A 122rv cabinet has a taller top rotor cavity than a 122 and some prefer the rv model for that reason alone. There is also a relationship of the top cabinet panel, being thinner than the rest of the wood panels on veneered cabs, like the top of an acoustic guitar in some respects.

The Vintage Leslie 800 and 900 series and some newer HZ Leslie's (3300) don't have louvers but have cut out openings with speaker fabric which I'm guessing provides a similar diffusion to the Louvers and is WAY easier to DIY!
