"Vintage Italian combo organ with classic '60s tone in a sharp-looking chassis. It sounds awesome, especially through FX pedals. 60s Brit pop sounds, naturally, but also early Pink Floyd psychedelic vibes. This unit needs repair, but it’s a great low-cost restoration project for someone handy!

The unit powers up and makes sounds, but the voltage to the keyboard needs adjusting. In the embedded YouTube demo video, a successful demo can be heard in the C scale, but all of the following keyboard voltage issues exist (potentially among others): C in the bass octave plays an F below; B in the bass octave plays a D# below and is too soft; G# in the bass octave is too soft.

Other issues:

Vibrato doesn't work. All Vibrato switches have some effect on the tone, but there is no actual vibrato
Reverb doesn't work. Reverb has a tube preamp (cool!)
Bass 16 / Strings 16 - same issues as bass octave but an octave higher
Bass 16 / Strings 16 - C2 and B2 do not sound
Flute 8 / All 8' stops - same issues as #6 and 7 but an octave higher again
Top C note sticks mechanically
This lot does NOT include the bass or volume pedals.

This organ is built in combination with its own carrying case. The top lid is removed to reveal the organ, and the bottom opens up to storage for wires and the fold-out, built-in legs (shown in some of the images). This lid is missing the suitcase-style carrying handle, which is likely easily replaceable. The case itself also has a crack on the right side.

The Farfisa Compact is known for its bright, buzzy organ tones and reedy bite, perfect for psych rock, garage, and early synth-pop textures. Whether you’re restoring it for stage use or just want that iconic combo organ flavor in your studio, this is a great piece to start with.

Details:

Multiple tone tabs for organ voices and percussion
Built-in vibrato (needs repair, as mentioned) and tone booster
49 keys with bass section on lower range
There is nothing like the sound of a Farfisa organ. Heard on classic tracks by Pink Floyd, The Doors, and The B-52s, these organs helped define the sound of '60s and '70s rock, and still holds its own in modern music.
