We've kind of gotten away from the NUX Roctary, but here's my 2 cents.
A half-moon on the steel is so convenient.

Yup Mike, the "halfmoon" on the rail or even a foot switch is the way to go for rotary control.
This would be closer to the real thing as a halfmoon the CU-1 for controlling a Leslie sim.
This Hammond-Suz switch will control a Vent's chorale, tremolo and brake function.

Hey Godfrey, you're right about a genuine brown Half-moon having the "cool factor". I decided on the Ashby 2-way w/o the Stop position, because when I'm in "B3 mode", I want that thing turning... not accidentally end up in Stop. I seem to remember the Ashby's were a little less expensive than the real McCoys. And Bruce shipped it with a high quality 6' TRS cable included. The standard foot operated Neo remote does the same thing, but my feet are a little busy as it is. Very easy to hit a chord then change speed with a flip of the right thumb. Just talking about it makes me want to leave the office and go home to play some! One of these days I'll get around to posting what (little) I can do in pedal steel/B3 world. Thanks for all of your input and insights... I always learn something.

You're welcome Mike!
Bruce Wahler has been making clone accessories for a while now over at Ashby Solutions.

The CU-1 is about $190. A Leslie rail switch is not cheap and the real bakelite versions are more expensive and less sturdy.
If the switch tip tends to fly off when you get to slamming the rotor action, put a tiny dab of silicone glue on the metal shaft that holds the plastic tip.
It should stay put without being on there permanently.

Thanks Godfrey. Bruce included an extra knob too, but your tip about the silicon is a great idea!

Hi Mike, I'm replying to an old post so not sure if you are still online. I see from your pic you are running the B9 in front of the NeoVent II. That's what I use with average results. Are you still using that setup? I've been trying to get a Hammond/Leslie-type sound for years. Thanks! Best, Kevin
