DIY Leslie!

[ganglion at utxvms.cc.utexas.edu]

I'm currently embarking on a mission to build my own Leslie prototype
speaker.  Using only donated parts such as a a beefy fan motor, car 
stereo amp, hipower lightweight car speakers, VCR parts, and such, 
I'm gonna try to get a doppler effect even if the end result looks like
Frankenstein.  
        Well, I know this is a highly unorthodox approach.  And I'm sure
there are many of you out there, rolling eyes and saying, "Bad idea or 
big mistake..."  Then there are others, scratching your chin and thinking,
"Well, maybe..."   This second group is the one who I'd like to reply on
this notion.  SPecifically, with good comments on cabinet materials, 
size, baffles, soundholes, etc.  The electrical side of it is gonna be clear
cut.  But does anyone have good speaker building tips out there that 
would apply to rotational speakers?  Anyone done this before?  If
so, feel free to speak up.  This should be a good one.
