Background
Recently, V and I acquired a Leslie speaker. It doesn't quite have all it takes to function properly as a Leslie speaker, so some restoring, re-engineering and construction is necessary. What we actually have are the following parts:- Leslie foam rotor (this is the most important component of the whole set-up)
- speaker (Utah)
- pulleys (foam rotor pulley and engine pulley)
- belt
- AC motor (fast and slow)
- mounts (for AC motor and foam rotor)
- a piece of wood, on which the above are mounted
The Plan
The plan is to do the following:- swap the AC motor for a DC motor for safety reasons
- plan and make the necessary electronics for DC motor control
- construct a cabinet for the speaker
