Anyone know the current rating on the breaker in the Leslie Combo Preamp? I replaced mine with a fuse but would like to get it back to semi-original.
Insomnia sux!

Made a copy of that pre @ 30 years ago and fused it with a 1/4A. Can't say I've ever seen one of those "poppit" breakers under 2 amps, plus they have a reputation for not working when you need 'em. For safety AND originality, you could leave your fuse in-circuit and bolt in but not wire up a poppit breaker when you do find one.

Weber has 'em from 600ma up to 10 amps.

The preamp powers the 2x 6L6 Leslie amp and the rotoe motor so I am guessing somewhere between 3 to 4 amps. The amp itself has a 2 amp fuse so the breaker has to be greater than that no? Plus the rotor motor and the preamp itself. I gotta check the fuse value i lut in when i replaced the original breaker. I am travelling for work atm

Hmmm, OK, the one I built bumped up a guitar signal & ran a Leslie that had its own AC cable. Drew almost no current. Maybe 50 milliamps.HeeBGB wrote:The preamp powers the 2x 6L6 Leslie amp and the rotoe motor so I am guessing somewhere between 3 to 4 amps.

To run the whole shebang yes it would be good to have a 3A breaker. The motors don't draw all that much.
You might pitch the question at Goff, they're the Hammond/Leslie specialists in Connecticut, and "known the world over."
I'd point you to Bill Dunne in London but he's gotta be 90 years old if he's still around, probably retired one way or another.
