Cool looking synth organ from the past.
"Introduced in 1970, the Duo is virtually identical, feature-wise, to the Professional 222, the Duo adds a lower manual, with a pretty decent selection of voices (clearly a first for Farfisa!), and an impressive pedal unit, including a Slalom pedal.---
Most of this organ is working, but it does need to be serviced to bring it back up to 100% functioning capability.
Seven or eight keys (out of 122) don't function when certain voices are selected, but do function when other voices are selected. The key and voice combination vary. The oscillators need to be re-tuned, some of the volume slider caps are loose, there are a couple of dirty contacts (mainly the Clarinet - Sharp voices) that cause fuzz every now and then and a couple of keys that are louder than the others. Internally, there are variable resistors that can change the volume of certain voices, so I'm assuming that this is what needs to be addressed.
I have sprayed the inside out with an air compressor, polished the wood, cleaned the body, keys and case and cleaned the contacts the best that I could. Comes with the original sheet music holder, bass/volume/slalom pedals and top case..."
