Leslie stuff

[David Halliday (Volt Computer)]

I was looking at that web site and they say that the speaker is driven by a
40 watt amplifier.  

Is your slip-ring assembly able to handle this kind of power?  This can
amount to as much as ten amps - enough to spot-weld a small brush to the
ring...

Maybe this is why the Leslie's that I have seen use a fixed speaker and
rotating baffle / horn.

YES YES YES!!! This is exactly what I would like to build! 
At least I know that it is not impossible to do now! Looks 
like a very nice professional product.

As I have the rotary slip ring already, I think it would be 
easier to rotate the actual speaker. And more fun! But I 
may try it both ways. Perhaps the slip ring will make too 
much noise or something, and I will have no choice.
