The organ has had EP6 connectors fitted, replacing the old-style 11 pin connectors, which were not made for touring. 2 x EP6 cables are in the set up, allowing for a spare cable, or one long cable, to enable the Leslie cabinet be played in a quieter corner of a stage, or even a side room, if needed. The Leslie cabinet has had the reverb unit removed, adapted to EP6 connectors, upgraded to EL34 output valves (achieving an additional 3 to 4 watts of output) and the valve relay replaced with a solid stage unit. The original speakers have been replaced with a 15inch JBL speaker and horn unit. 2 x spare horn diaphragms are included. The conversion was undertaken by Bill Dunne of W. Dunne & Co., a company based in Islington (London) that had been servicing and repairing keyboard instruments for more than 30 years. Also included is a Bill Dunne combo pedal/preamp, which connects to and controls the Leslie speaker, so that any instrument - guitar, electric piano, synthesiser or even a vocal - can be played through the revolving speaker. The organ unit has had the original 2 pin mains replaced with the safer 3 pin version and a 1/4 inch jack socket fitted, so the organ sound can be recorded directly from the organ, without the need for a Leslie cabinet.
