MOOG Model 1P


via this auction.

"1968 vintage

This Moog synthesizer was recently hooked up and played at the computer lab at C.W. Post University, and is working well. It has been stored, covered with plastic, for the past 15 years, and is in remarkable condition for its age. With a basic overhaul this synthesizer should function well. It has excellent sound production capability. For a collector, sound purist, recording artist or engineer, or a college professor teaching synthesis, this two case Moog is a rare find indeed.

  2. Nice, but I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable bidding on such a big ticket auction from a seller who just signed up/has 0 feedback.

  4. No LPF? It mentions a "filter module" but doesn't specify this as a 904, etc. Seems like an omission. Otherwise a very nice system with FFB.

  5. As far as I can tell that's a stock Moog synthesizer IP. It has space for an optional sequential controller and sequencer interface.

    The Moog System 15 is a later model released in 1973/74 consisting of one single box unit, not two. Also, the 15 featured the then-new and more stable 921B oscillators.

  6. Oh...and the system 15 came with a new 2-voice keyboard.

    To Synthetic: from what I can see the instrument in the auction does indeed have a 904A LPF module (it's the second module in the upper row of the right-most cabinet).
