Recanati Macsound Leslie-Type Amplifier Rotary Speaker


I think this is basically an Italian version of a Leslie rotary speaker/amplifier. I would guess it dates back to the 1970's. It has no footswitch but i read on another listing that they are fairly easy to put together or buy. There is no cover on the fuse holder so I have listed this item as 'not working' as I have no way of testing it. I did bypass the fuse momentarily and the on/off switch illuminated so I'm thinking with a bit of TLC it should be a runner. Obviously an amplifier of this age will require servicing by a decent tech before using. It's quite a big old beast - approximately a 2 foot cube (used old fashioned units of measure as it seemed appropriate) so is collection only. It's on wheels so easy to move. I think they were originally designed for use with Hammond organs but were used with electric guitars also to give the famous 'Leslie' sound. Decent condition for it's age.
