Farfisa Combo Compact organ

Compact Series (1964 - 1969)
The Compact series had four models. On the Compact Duo dual manual organs, tone and volume were regulated by controls on the F/AR combination preamp, reverb and power supply unit. On most other models the tone controls and a bass section volume were located on an indented panel on the rear of the keyboard. Underneath the keyboards, a knee-high lever could be actuated for the tone boost feature, turned on by rocker levers on the console. All models had reverb except for the mini-compact. Optional feature: 13-note bass pedals (not for the mini-compact).

That's a pretty sharp looking and great sounding Compact!

BTW, the organ does have oscillators, actually it has twelve of them. When you play the top octave in a 4' voice the frequncies you hear come straight from the oscillators.
