 Electro Music (and later CBS) did not provide factory kits to connect so-called "universal" or general-purpose Leslies to Hammond console organs without internal speaker systems. 
 This was done to protect Hammond dealers who, at the time were responsible for most of 
 Leslie's sales. 
-Any music dealer could sell 147s and other general-purpose Leslies,

-However, the 147 hookup is relatively simple and re­quires only minimal technical expertise.

 If a 122-type "half-moon" switch is used, it will work backwards with 147-type Leslies.

 Universal-type Leslies should be connected directly the organ preamp. 
 If the organ has echo or other signal switching, these should be bypassed. 
 Hammond consoles were usually used only with external cabinets with balanced inputs. 
 It's possible to devise a switching system for both balanced and unbalanced in­puts but the circuit is more complex and beyond the scope of this project.
