Leslie 5 blower

Post by Nathan_P5A »

Just took on a leslie RS5T-RRO to add some diversity to my Nathan dominated collection. Traded a Nathan K5LA circa late 80s/early 90s In pretty decent YN3. The RRO was made in 1980 and wears YN2 paint with all parsippany heads. Here’s a few pictures of both horns. A video will be made in a few days pending time and weather.

Thanks! I highly recommend it. Make sure you have a suitable air system for the horn otherwise it won’t sound the way you want it to.
