Lord Valve Speaketh:
Leslie cable is a proprietary item made for
Hammond/Suzuki (formerly Electro Music) by
Carol Corporation. The only source is from
Hammond/Suzuki. Leslie dealers stock it,
or can order you some. The male and female
5-pin connectors were made by Amphenol. I'm
not sure if Leslie is still offering these,
but they may. I stock all the parts needed
to produce a Leslie cable from scratch. BTW,
you might want to check the female end of the
cable; upon closer inspection, you may discover
that it's a 6-pin, not a 5. A 5-pin male to
a 6-pin female is one of the ways a model 122
Leslie can be connected to a B-3; one of the
lines in the cable is dedicated to B+ voltage

B+ supply on board, and derived this voltage

Since the B-3 has its own B+ supply, it doesn't
require this connection, and can be hooked up
with a 5-wire cable.
