Yep, the Twin was a great amp...mine is still going strong; sold it to one of my keyboard students quite some time ago, and he's still using it.

I had a pair of Celestion full range speakers installed in mine, by my now Yamaha techie, and guitar playin' buddy, Gerard.

It helped a bit, and still kept that warm sound...back then we had a bass player, and I stayed away from that frequency spectrum for the most part, but I wouldn't put an arranger keyboard through one, as it still doesn't give enough lows...we gotta remember, we are essentially putting a whole band through our speakers.

Sure weighed a lot, didn't it? I don't miss that at all, but the tube sound on my Polymoog, Roland SH-2000, and Wurlitzer (and later my Rhodes)sure helped to warm them up nice.

They are worth a few bucks today.

That's why the Leslie was so nice...tubes.

BTW, I also had a Farfisa...a VIP-233 with dual manuals, and big fat cheap plastic "drawbars", two keyboards, and a "slalom pedal"...sounded pretty good through the Twin, but even better through a Leslie.
