sorry about these sizes, i can't change them for some reason. scroll on the bottom if neccessary. sorry 

I used to think the voltage was changed to speed or slow the motor, especially because when you speed it up, the tremolo effect ramps up (very cool if you know what I mean) and then when you change it to slow it halts back down to the slow speed, no gradual decay of speed (something I hope to do manually if I get the right info here  ).  So I thought it was voltage controlling, but then I saw that I have 6 wires coming from the leslie, two for speaker connections, two for a transformer, and two for the motor itself (check motor pics, I think this is right but I stand by if corrected.)

so here's the switches for the leslie.  as you can see one is the on/off switch, and the other is the speed switch.
x goes to hot power, y goes to an optional speaker, (i'm imagining a leslie cabinet [it says model 51 speaker on a speaker next to input]) and z goes to the leslie 5 pin connection.


x,y, and z lead to here, the "distribution frame" a power and speaker convergence point.  miscillaneous stuffa re labeled here
most important is the view of the leslie connection


so here's the pin, blurry but fine for what ails us. 


and now the motor.  my finger is pointing to a wheel that spins a rod that goes down through something?(another motor?) and then enters the motor part with magnets and a shit load of wires. this wheel speeds up considerably when the switch is activated, and slows back down when on slow.   The load of wires is where two cables are coming out of and into the connection pin.

perhaps better view here.


ok. 
so all that being said, I did not try ashcats suggestion as I think that the dual motor thing may be right. I'm thinking that the other motor? is constantly on and the fast switch turns on the transformer and speeds up the wheel to the pin to the gear, etc. 

I'd like to do as little damage to these old parts as they have stood the test of time so far, so perhaps it is something to keep in mind, and I do know I will need some parts (switches, case, etc.).  now that you knowledgable people have some more photos and info, hopefully you all can give me definite answers.  my end result is to have the rocker set the speed of the motor, and to have control of the leslie being on or off as well.

I look forward to it and thank you in advance.
