I picked up a Leslie 25 for free. The Leslie is complete but needs moderate work including the finish on the top.

The Leslie 25 is single speed rotor with a 12" speaker and 20 watt amplifier. It was manufactured in 1963 as dated from several components. It was quite dirty,  covered with cigarette smoke and spills, but it cleaned up pretty well.  I've removed the Leslie 25 amplifier and installed it in my Leslie 45 which has both a lower and upper rotor.

The speaker is a classic 12" Jensen with a date code of 1959.

The Leslie type 28 control had one cracked 50R ceramic resistor and an open diode in the brake circuit.  I replaced the cracked resistor with two 25R 25 watt resistors.  Their case temperature gets well over 300º F when the brake is on.  Hot!

The Leslie 25 amplifier was also covered with cigarette smoke.  It cleaned up pretty well and needed no repairs.
