The instrument
The 248 R organ or model 112465-E, which also bears the name Caroline, came onto the market around 1974. The 6-digit number for the models was introduced after the takeover of Farfisa by the American company Lear Siegler Inc. in 1971/1972. The home organ is equipped with the Partner 14 for drum presets, a bass pedal and a volume pedal.
