Brad,
Do you have any pics of the electronics? I am curious about what generates the tones. Any idea how old this thing is?

oh, and judging by the style of the knobs and the fact that its one of the only farfisas ive ever seen with no reverb i'm thinking it was a very early model, maybe 1964? thats just a guess though...

How did you go about installing an output? Just connect the speaker wires to a 1/4in jack?

Hi there.
What we got here is a FARFISA Galaxy. It was introduced in 1968.
I have the same, it's sort of a stripped-down COMPACT in spinet clothes. It has some REAL good sounds, especially with the Reverb. Reverb Tank is located in the lower part of the Organ, so be careful when chopping it.
There's a vid on YouTube of an italian music fair, where it is introduced and you can see a guy playing it shortly... I'll try to post the link.
Those COMPACTs in spinet clothes are well worth having them. I got a GALAXY and a RHAPSODY.
I will add some Pics of them soon...

I've listened to the sound sample, great demo and combo organ sound, rather unusual.

Hey guys
I know this is an old thread buy I'm picking up one of these tomorrow. Is the chop a hard process? Or is it possible to remove any of it for transport?
Thanks
K
