Leslie Tremolo Unit

So i pulled the rotating Leslie out of an organ and i want to be able to hook it up with my guitar amps. It has an 8" speaker thats 35 watts, i think.

Which model?

Looking for a good Leslie simulator

Who makes a good Leslie simulator? I think there's a company by the name of "Motion" or something of that nature, but that's the only one I can come up with.

It also has to have the works as far as a decent pre-amp, multiple outputs & etc.
