The 1174 Kit ($265 www.goffprof.com) "connects most one, two,three, our
four channel organs to appropriately channeled 11-pin Leslie Speaker
cabinets. Provisions exist in the Kit for up to Four-channel mixing."

If you just have a single-channel Leslie that may be a bit pricey.
Goff also has the 11-pin male and female connectors ($6.50 each) but
that doesn't help for lowering the signal to expected input level,
you'd need some sort of adapter, sort-of like this:
http://www.dairiki.org/HammondWiki/index.php?LineOutFromASpinet
(actually it's probably good for any organ with self-contained
speakers, not just a Hammond spinet).

Here's the pin-out for 11-pin Leslies:
1 - rotary channel input
2 - main/nonrotary input (2+ channel Leslies)
3 - Aux input #1 (3+ channel Leslies)
4 - signal/DC ground (4+5 usually wired together at organ)
5 - control supply common
6 - control circuit common (switch 6 to 5 to turn Leslie on)
7 - fast motor control (ground 7 turns on tremelo)
8 - slow motor control (ground 8 turns on chorale)
9 - external speed adjust (not used on early models, pin 9 is usually
grounded)
10 - Aux input #2 (4 channel Lslies only)
11 - +24VDC output (for preamp power or Leslie "sensing" circuits in
some organs)
