This is the "Church Version" of the original Leslie Model 30A, a single speed cabinet with no provision for remote control.  It is supposed to have had a different rotational speed.  

"The church models definitely ran at a different speed.  The idea here was that
the standard Leslie tremolo was deeper than that of a traditional pipe organ, so the church models had two openings in each rotor, and ran at half-speed.  The result was a tremolo at the same frequency, but with less depth.  (Remember that the actual reason for the original Vibratone was to simulate pipe organ tremolo.)" -- Bruce Wahler of Ashby Solutions™

The model 30C was made specifically for the balanced output of a Hammond "G-G" Console (IE Model B or C).
