Answer 2

it depends upon which one you are closer to

Answer 3

The Nathan is a much nicer sound, that's for sure. Couldn't tell you.

Answer 4

Well, this wont help you much but the one I had yesterday was the worst I've had lately. It sounded more like it was mounted INSIDE the cab and even with ear protection after 12 hours my head was throbbing. I like the anwser about nice sounding, that is more important the pure decibels.

Answer 5

The leslie Prime Model is listed on e-bay, current bid $41 US, to own your own.  The add may have the specs.

I'll check on the other.............

Yep.  The Nathan is there, too.  But, $455 current bid.  This specifically mentions the control valve goes along with it.  This is a very important piece of the system.  

The right one will allow for cutting in the chimes as you open the valve wider.  The 5 chimes' that the SP used were really fun, and could be played.  They were quite melodic.

(Yeah.  I know.  Skip the nostalgia and answer the flippin' question..........)

Lemme know if you find out.  You now have me curious.
