Are you sure it isn't the 122? It looks a bit tall to be the shorter model. I'm not an expert,but it does seem a bit tall, maybe 41"? Or is it just the picture? Whats the serial number. You can tell what year it was made in by the number. Just punch it into the computer and it will tell you the month and year it was made.
The finish is beautiful on it. Is it a true cherry,cherry finish,or the darker walnut cherry-like finish? They can fade in the sun into the prettiest colours. Mine is a matching Walnut made to match my Hammond B3. I've always wanted duo Leslies and the original tone cabinet hooked up to mine to really send my mother packin'!!!(dust off that broom before you pull the starter,Mummy!)
Not really,but they do make some beautiful noise. I'm an old Leslie fan since the days of roller skating to them in the Detroit area as a kid. The Vox motion sound work pretty well with a KurzweilPC88,but NOTHING beats a real Leslie. I love them.they growl,they do it all. LOUD too. And ever so lovely. Yours is GORGEOUS!
Is Andy Seitz your tune up man? I only ask because he travels Montana.Wyoming,Colorado,Utah,Nevada,Idaho,Oregon, etc. with his business,The Circuit Rider,Andrew Seitz. He re-built my B3 and Leslie and Original Tone Cabinet. He looks like a tiny version of Santa Claus and is well known out there. Out there,where I wish I was....

I used to use dual Leslies with my Hammond (a 147RV and a 122RV that I converted to a 147RV when I had the Hammond cut down and then used the combo pre-amp). Two really help fill the room with sound and do sound different than just one! ;)
Mine had CTS speakers with BIG square magnets and my Jensen driver appeared different as I recall. Mine also had the square port on the back.

It is definitely a 22H Cabinet, completely original inside and out including its' 22H amplifier. The serial number is 21657. It must be the picturing, but the tag is mint, and so is the piece of paper on the back. It states 22H over and over. She is simply amazing to look at. Still has the "oil here" stickers, and all.
I do not know of Andy Seitz. I can say though that I never imagined those horns FLYING like they do. Some hefty motors running the rotary. They just reek of style and... well, you guys don't need this explained.

yupper,sorry,I should have looked close at the back of mine. I have it covered with a wool blanket because of the cat jumping on it. The backs are much different and it was the camera angle. Mine still has its crunchy browned stickers too...you know what I love the best? is the Leslie decal in the olde letters on the front above the ports. Yours is/was a beauty. These olde boys retain their value and keep going up with care and love. Such a pretty colour yours was.
