Hi!
Im trying to find the way to fix my Farfisa all over internet and i just can't find anything which would help me.
So bassicaly when you play the f-sharp or g-sharp key, the sound is totally out of tune and all you can hear is noise.
i've got a video showing the problem :

With some instruments ( Piccolo 4, Flute 4) it works fine but with others it doesn't at all. When only special effect is turned on just by itself , everything works fine. when you mix sounds of different instruments then again you can hear noise.
Automatic Bass works fine.
What should I do and which part gotta be replaced. At the end of video thera are few pictures of inside .

Thanks

I've been repairing old organs over here in the UK for the past 40 years so I may be able to help. Looking at your video I believe that the TOS is OK so it would appear that the most likely problem would be one of the Divider ICs. I think they may be the ones on your pic "IMG_2310".
You are fortunate in that they are located in sockets, so can easily be exchanged with each other ( as long as the part numbers are all the same ) Many older organs have 12 of these but in your case it may be that there are fewer and some are used for more than one note.
If you can identify these, I suggest you remove one at a time, trying the organ each time. As you remove each one you should be able to find out which notes they affect and eventualy you will find that by changing 2 over, you will move the fault to another key / keys...I hope that makes sense, it's difficult not actualy "being" there!
Do observe the correct polarity for the IC's !!
Good Luck..
