Howard Jones' Prodigy on the 'bay



Update: Via Synthmatic on AH

"Hi,
The Prodigy differences are as follows:

Serial numbers below 4160 have the single audio output and are difficult to
modify.

Serial numbers from 4161 to 8077 are easier to modify and have a newer
printed circuit board which accommodates the appropriate interfacing pads. They
have the single audio output.

Serial numbers 8078 and above have the S-Trig out, Kybd In/Out, OSC In, VCF
In, Sync In, Audio Out jacks.

Moog Music had two kits for the modifications. One was for serial numbers
below 8078 (9 additional jacks) and the other was for serial numbers 8078 and
above (4 additional jacks).
They both had the same overlay in the kits. you just used half of it for
serial numbers 8078 and above.
I have installed the mod for the additional 4 jacks and found it quite
simple. It looked really good too!
Below is the list of jacks from left to right on the rear panel:

[GATE OUT, GATE IN, AUDIO IN, KYBD IN][S-TRIG IN/OUT, KYBD IN/OUT, OSC IN,
VCF IN, SYNC IN] AUDIO OUT

Hope this helps.

Update: In this shot http://www.matrixsynth.com/blog/media/Moog/howardjonesprodigy/b1_3.jpg it looks like the updated prodigy with extra jacks. You can see the new faceplate.

Update: Multiple sources say the model in the Howard Jones shots is not the factory model with the extra ins and outs, but rather this is:

More pics below.

Update: via AH, there are two models of the Prodigy. The latter had additional inputs and outputs for pitch, VCF, and sync control.

This is an interesting one. In via Vintage Synth Explorer. Click here for the auction. Title link takes you to the larger auction shots saved for posterity.

So, my question is why are these two Prodigies different in the back? See the update above.
