I am no expert but it seemed perfect when I listened to it;
if you want to know specific sounds, let me know and I can record them for you.
Keyboard VGC;
the stand is sturdy though the stand would look better with some TLC.
Any more questions I'll try to answer them.
There's not much online about this particular model though the brand is well thought of.
Wikipedia has a long article about all the cool rockers who used Farfisas.
DELIVERY:-
I reckon the keyboard and maybe the pedal could be couriered and £15 seems a reasonable estimate.
But should you want to take the stand as well it would need to be collected.
