I bought 4 or 5 X5's for $350 to $750, depending on condition and model.
Keep in mind that the first series doesn't have the "Pedal to Keyboard"
tablet, very useful in a 44-key 7-drawbar lower keyboard to fatten the
walking bass, which is present in the second series (AKA "X5 New").

I consider X5 the best Hammond portable organ, still own one of the latest
X5 and use it in not-so-important live gigs in conjunction with a 760 (9-pin
Leslie output).
Even without tonewheels, it has a good sound, foldback (which lack in L100-P
or Porta-B) and good keys. Weight is only 70 Kg.

Bye all.
