Very neat, David.  I thought they looked like they might be Hammond 
pedals, but didn't want to go too far off the mark guessing.

'Fraid I can't help with your Rotodyne Leslie question.  Pipe organs are 
more my thing.  Can't help but imagine the pipe organ that could be 
installed in an area with a 24-ft ceiling!!

Love these crossover interests!
