Farfisa combo compact help (also file under dumb mods/repairs...)

Farfisa combo compact help (also file under dumb mods/repairs...)

2010-05-06 by scituate_mass

Hello,

I picked up a Farfisa at our town dump.  It seems to be working (I can get bass signal out of the rear bass jack, and some low bleed through of the other voices).  The problem is that the previous owner cut off the hard wired output cable for the main voices.  It was easy enough to find the sliced off cable... but then I noticed that the bit that remained (in tie wraps near the preamp board) was cut off on both sides.  I do have the schematics, but they are very different from what I am used to looking at.  If anyone is familiar with this organ, could you please help me out by indicating where exactly the output signal is supposed to be tapped off of the circuit boards.

There must have been some mod in here at one point... but it is not apparent to me where it was done (I thought maybe the headphone jack had been rerouted for the hot signal use... but it does not work).

Thanks!  DT
