The ammond P-100 portable spinet |
|
As mentioned in the pages about ProLine Leslie models, a version of the L-100 spinet was made in Germany and Denmark called P-100, 'P for Portable'. This model was but for a few details the same as the US made Porta-B and the Belgian L100P models. The P-100 had the option of a built-in interface for the 760/770/825 Leslies. | |
On the left and below, some scans of an
early 70's Danish commercial flyer (kindly sent to me by Hans Wehner). Click here to see an English translation of the Danish text. |

On the picture, the lower left end-block that would normally contain the Leslie control tablets (Leslie on/off and fast/stop/slow) is just left 'plain'. I do not know if the accompanying, shall we say, 'portable' stool is a design from the Danish manufacturer or in fact an 'official' Hammond accessory. The 1970 price list from The Netherlands you can see in the Price Lists Section, shows that the L-100P (or L-100PN as they called it) was sold without a bench/stool.
