Hi,

This looks to be a Wurlitzer C-400, an organ from around 1990. Essentially a re-badged Viscount, sold through the Baldwin dealer network.

This was a reasonable organ for the time, but does not allow for voicing, and the basic tone was not that great. Build quality of the console was not bad, but the pedalboards on those (as well as any Viscount pedalboard of the time) were terribly mediocre, and if not repaired by now, will need some work.

These models are not worth much. Later variants such as the C-440 and C-470 were better.

A good friend bought one of these (not sure if the exact model) for about $1500 USD about 2 years ago, and over Easter I fooled around on it a little. His lacks the comprehensive coupler package, so it would not make a great church instrument, but for practice, wow. Has a couple of 32ft stops on the pedal, and a gentle sweet sound unless you push it. The internal speakers are crap, but they could easily be upgraded, and it's possible to augment with a set of good home theater speakers (which my buddy keeps talking about having done, but hasn't yet).
The console is extremely compact for a drawknob, and fits through a front door with ease, and is as shallow as possible. So, for the right price...

Got a reply from my email sent to them...it is a C-400 and I believe his email said it comes with a couple external speakers...
Couldn't find much of anything on that model by Googling...
They're looking to get $3000 for it...I suggest it may be sitting a while...

Thanks AV & SubBase for your replies...you and others on this forum have been alot of help!
