[sdiy] OT: home organ Leslie hacking

[CCartCat at aol.com]

Just a pie in the sky hypothetical:

If I were to find an old home organ with a built-in Leslie and   . . .

If it the organ pretty much worked overall and   . . .

I wanted to have the occasional option of sending my own non-organ signal 
thru the Leslie . . .

How would I proceed?

I can guess that I may want a dummy load for the organ's own amp so it's kept 
happy while I'm borrowing the Leslie.   Beyond that, I'm worse than guessing. 
  Anyone had any hands on experience?

I ask because I occasionally see a home organ in a thrift store with a 
built-in Leslie.   Too often this happens when I'm not particularly close to home 
(as in out of state) and cartage becomes a bigger issue than usual.   Rather 
than torture myself with what might have been or might be, I thought I'd do a 
reality check.

Also, I imagine a home organ Leslie is not the greatest of all Leslies, but 
for my purposes, Leslie-fying any sound at hand for the sake of fun, it may 
well suffice.

Lurking in thrifts as well, now and then,
