Wersi Prisma DX5 Portable Organ – Spares Or Repair. Condition is For parts or not working.
This is a portable organ from the late 1980s.
It is listed as for spares or repair as it is only partially working. The two manuals work, but the auto rhythm and bass pedals do not. This is an internal problem. The bass pedals are sending signals ok to console, but no sound is being generated.
This is a great, manageable portable organ and the sounds are still very good for the era.
It comprises:
main console with power lead. One memory cartridgeFrame (three parts – dismantles flat)Pedal board with attached leadVolume pedal with leadOriginal Perspex small music standOptional, custom-made heavy duty, full-length music stand (see pictures)Padded bag for main console (home-made, but strong – see pictures)Original Wersi stool (in need of repair)
Here are its good points:It is fairly portable, not too heavy and very stablePedalboard and volume pedal latch securely to bottom of frame meaning they stay firmly in place – no running awaySounds are excellent for its ageHas an inbuilt amplifier (which works), which means you only require speakers (connected by jack leads) and dont need an actual amp unit
Not-so-good points:Bass section not playingAuto rhythm not playingPlastic casing of bass pedal unit has come a bit loose at one side as screws are missing. Needs a couple of screws. The two toggle switches on the volume pedal (which are assignable for rhythm start/stop, fill-in, pitch bend, piano sustain etc.) have partially snapped off above the surface level of the pedal. However, the switches are still active, so the switches could be replaced or improvised with something of the approximate dimensions and some superglue. Otherwise it is on good condition, with only minor wear and tarnishing commensurate with age. Stool requires repair: one leg slightly broken. Handle has come off height adjusterThis could be restored to be a great instrument, or would serve as parts for another similar model.
