Can someone tell what this Farfisa house organ is. It has a roll top and a helper. I would like to know more before I get in too deep.

Farfisa 52R, from 1971. Also known as the Farfisa Jacqueline in Continental Europe.
Value, zero. I would not get in deep at all. Poor tone and very unreliable when new. Does not have the sound of the Farfisa combo organs, if that's what you're after.It's not what you play. It's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.

Are there any home organs that sound like combo organs?Originally posted by andyg View PostWhen I become dictator, those who preach intolerance will not be tolerated.Comment

Any larger early 70s Yamaha home organ will be similar in tone to their YC series combo organs. A really old Farfisa will sound nasal and shrill, a bit like the Compacts, but not exactly like them. I can't think of anything that will sound like a Vox Continental.
A laptop, controller keyboard and a software organ is the way that many people go these days, me included.It's not what you play. It's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.

Hello drummer125, did you have any joy with that organ....
I'm only asking because I've got one very similar that I'm trying to get information on.

No luck so far. The model is "112451" on the back plate and the ser number is "62 24 242" . I have not found a name on it but "The Chicago Musical Instrument Co" is also on the back. The book has a date of 1968 on it. I am still searching for info.

Hi there, have you tried this guy?

His email address is on the site so you can drop him a line to confirm, but I got from him yesterday the schematics for mine. It's a model 112452, made in 1971. Don't think there's much difference between them but that bloke Alessandro I reckon is you best bet.
