“Well here it is, one of the rarest Organs/Synthesizers on the planet. The infamous Moog “White Elephant” it’s not really called that or anything it’s just given that nick name by collectors. Its real name is much more serious and boring: Organ CDX – 062 made by Norlen Music Inc based out of Chicago. It doesn’t even say Moog on the label, only on the panel itself! I’ve seen only 2 or 3 of these EVER in last 5 years, let alone for sale. This is pretty much the crown jewel of any Moog Synthesizer collector.

I’m not sure every feature works perfectly but then again I’m not sure I know how to use the thing either. There are two output jacks in the bottom I’m thinking that you are suppose to have them both plugged in? They don’t say anything but it may be UPPER and LOWER keyboards (or possible–>synth and organ).

May need a little TLC to get EVERY feature 100% working. Right now I would say most of the features work. I couldn’t get the draw-bars to happen and a few “sounds” did nothing? Problems are to be expected with a organ like this!That sold as is. ” Link

“THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE VINTAGE USED MOOG CDX-O-652 CORDOVOX ORGAN/SYNTHESIZER WHITE ELEPHANT.THIS UNIT LOOKS GOOD FOR ITS AGE.IT IS MISSING SOME SLIDER KNOBS, AND I AM NOT SURE IF THE STEMS ARE BROKE, BUT I CAN MOVE THE SLIDERS UP AND DOWN EASILY WITH A TOOTHPICK.ALL THE OTHER KNOBS AND BUTTONS ARE STILL ATTACHED AND MOVE FREELY.THE UNIT POWERS UP BUT I CAN NOT TEST IT ANY FURTHER BECAUSE I HAVE NO PEDAL OR CABLES AND I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THESE TYPE OF MACHINES.I did plug this organ in and it powered on. I will guarantee that this powers on but beyond that, I can’t test it. All the slides, switches and knobs operate smoothly. SO I AM SELLING IT “AS IS HOW IS”I HAVE ADDED ALOT OF PICTURES OF BOTH INSIDE AND OUT, SO PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES BEFORE BIDDING. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU WILL PICK UP.THIS IS A PICK UP ONLY AUCTION DUE TO THE WEIGHT AND SIZE OF THE UNIT.” Link


“Wow!!! Thats a lot of info! I suggest you google this model so you will know exactly what it will do. I have tested this one extensively and everything works. This one even comes with the original stand and red leatherette carry bag(sorry the zipper is trashed). Cosmetically, this one is in good shape. The color has yellowed a bit and the yellowing is a bit splotchey, and there seems to be the beginning of cracks on the plastic on the edges(see photo) but overall pretty clean. These don’t turn up everyday so get it while you can!” Link
