MOTM

Normally I won't post this here, but the last organ I mentioned on this list 
caused one list member to buy one and have it shipped over from the UK.  So 
here it is:

I was considering buying a used Yamaha EX-1 Electone organ which is a kind of 
GX-1 derivative, but I just don't feel going throught the hassle of trying to 
get the thing shipped across the US, trying to get a good description of a 
couple of problems it has and he last organ I bought is taking up far more 
room than I had imagined.  The EX-1 is rare (someone said only about 30 
shipped to the US) and it originally sold for over $30,000.  So assuming it 
is still available, I am passing the info onto this list incase anyone else 
wants to grab it.

Here is info from the ad.  It is located in Ecninitas California.  The 
contact is Bob Polselli, and his e-mail address is (bobpolselli@...).  
The price was $2000 obo.  The ad said that a few buttons didn't work because 
they needed cleaning and that there was something wrong with the speakers.  
Physical condition is virtually perfect.  I wrote to Bob Polselli asking for 
more info on what was wrong with the speakers and if he knew for sure whether 
some buttons only needed cleaning.  Turns out he is not the owner of the 
organ (I guess owner doesn't have e-mail).  The speakers were in a different 
place than the organ and couldn't be brought together until after halloween.  
I haven't contacted him since.  You take it up from this point on.  If 
anybody is going to act on this, let me know.  Otherwise I will let the 
Electone Forum know, because there have been a couple of people in the past 
looking for an EX-1.
