The AG7600, launched soon after, was a soundbar type separate amplifier with loudspeakers and offered a spring reverb effect.

Each Philicorda had 17 pre-programmed chords (C - A7 - Dm - Eb - Em - F - D - G - E7 - Am - B - G7 - Cm - B9 - Gm - F7 - C7), although key assignments varied between models.

In the US, the Philicorda 753 was distributed by J. C. Penney under the Penncrest name, available in blue or black, as opposed to the previous natural wood finishes.

Singer Chris Montez's 1962 hit single "Let's Dance" features the Philicorda organ prominently.

Notable users include Nick Power of The Coral and Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake.
