  Geoff Williamson's Foldback Page

I guess it's a bit embarrasing that I haven't had much about how to add foldback to a spinet here on these pages, considering my nickname. My good friend Geoff Willamson from Mirboo North, South-Eastern Australia, has put a lot of effort into creating the best web-page about adding foldback to an M-3. Excellent work, great pictures, the true web-reference for the M-3 (or other spinet) owner with the time and patience to undertake a project like this.

Inside the Fender Vibratone

The very first Leslie speaker was in fact called a 'Vibratone'. Later on, Don Leslie found that his speaker didn't need a brand name other than his own. In the 60's, when CBS had bought Electro Music from Don Leslie, another CBS division, Fender, started making Leslie speakers under a new name - Fender Vibratone. These small speakers were virtually identical to Leslie model 16 and 18. Check out this website for some interesting reading.
