No, but I've archived a lot of Hammond-Organ-related information on my PC, and I have a good memory for what is where! The information actually comes from Harvey Olsen, who is one of the leading "experts" on Hammond lore, and a friend of Mr. Leslie. He published a couple of articles on Leslie trivia, including the production date of the first Leslie Speaker.
