When you say, "1st gen CX-3," are you talking 1982-ish or 2001-ish? If
it's the '80s model, they are prone to problems with leaky capacitors.
I went to look at a BX-3 at a dealers some years ago ('90s); it worked
fine for about 2 minutes, then started acting 'haunted.' It had a
couple dozen bad caps inside.

Also, keep in mind that the organ is ~35 years old, and might need some
electronics updated.

If it's the '00s model (which had two versions, lipped and waterfall
keys), then it's likely connectors inside the box. The exact thing you
are describing happened to me on my 2003 BX-3, which is pretty much the
same pieces inside.

Things that I've seen or heard of on the CX-3/BX-3 that were fixed by
reseating all the connectors inside:

* missing notes
* drawbars don't work
* selectors stuck on Preset 1 or Preset 2 for one manual, can't be changed
* no output
* strange output (weird sounds)
* won't boot up, stuck in startup mode
