Yamaha EX2

Looks like there is a Yamaha EX2 up on the bay. Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction.

Note there is also one for sale here, with a price tag of $5995. Details from that listing (not from the Ebay auction):

"(Leslie 122 compatible) This is actually an analog synthesizer cleverly posing as an electronic organ! It was an outgrowth of Stevie Wonder's "Dream Machine" synth, which was used to score the documentary film, "The Secret Life of Plants." This Instrument was owned and operated by the late organist/keyboardist, John Seng, who was both a Yamaha Artist and consultant to that firm in the development of the Dream Machine. Its tonal resources are based on Yamaha's PASS technology, also found in the famous CS-80 synthesizer. What makes this instrument unique is that it's individual sounds were "tweaked" and re-scaled by Yamaha techs to Mr. Seng's personal specs, producing a sound unlike any other production examples of this model. The 1969 Leslie will be included with this Organ (including customized interface) and is in perfect working order. See bottom of page for Leslie photos."

    Different Yamaha, and this one is apparently much more common.
