Yamaha YC-45D


via this auction
"Yamaha YC-45D. Described as the Cadillac of combo organs but in fact more of a synthesizer in many ways. Probably the coolest looking keyboard ever made however. Used in the 70's by Chick Corea and other Jazz types. Popular with ska bands later on (the Specials used on last year for their reunion). It's also Becks keyboardist Roger Joseph Manning Jnrs favourite keyboard. And for good reason because it is properly brilliant.

Comes with (tilting) stand, bass pedals, volume pedal and cases for everything."

    Howdy.

    I own the very same organ. I found the manual recently, seems i can only get the pitch ribbon to work in 1 octave, is there some trick to this?

    Also, what are these worth?

    Thanks
    Nick
