Hi,

I had the schematics for this organ on my hard drive, so I've uploaded 
them to the file section. Unfortunately, I don't have an actual service 
manual or user's manual... But I guess the schematics are the most 
crucial part.

I bought my X-50 for 60 canadian dollars in a Pawn Shop near my house 
(a stroke of luck, they usually never had anything...) It was in great 
condition but the sound output was heavily distorted. Turned out to be 
the power supply. A relatively easy repair. Since then it's been 
working fine. A great little organ!
