The Leslie 122 is THE classic Hammond Leslie.  Hard to find a decent one on eBay for under $1000.

    I would like to thank all those who had suggestions...but it is all moot
now.  My Dad gave the organ and leslie to someone down in LA that has a
small recording studio.  Sorta too bad it couldn't go to anybody on the
list.  That was the last organ he had at his house (he used to repair
organs).

    For what is is worth, the model number on the Leslie was 122.  To tell
the truth, I wish I had had room to put it in my home, but alas, no such
luck.  Right now I am debating if I want the old upright piano (it is 120
years old) that is in the garage.  Looks like it needs about $5000 in
repairs...and pianos like that sell around here for about $700 in perfect
working order.  :-(
