Minimoog With Ribbon

via this auction.

Details:
"Minimoog model D, excellent conditions. If you are thinking about bidding, you know well what it is. S.n. 5474, old oscillator board, buffer board. This Mini is incredibly stable in pitch! Very good esthetic condition, all knobs and silver centers are there. The woodwork has only some signs of the time (according to my opinion, it's worth 9/10). Both Moog nameplates are on it. This Mini has still its yellow Moog original tag, labelled "september 1974": the machine seems as coming from a time capsule... All of the keyboard bushings have been replaced one week ago by an excellent technician with new, very rare and expensive rubber ones, so it has a smoooooooth and precise feel, as it used to have at its birth. Last but not least, it sports the LH controller with the ultraRARE ribbon controller; this was an option offered by Moog, as reported in the Minimoog owners manual (I'll send also copies of this, if needed). Such a controller, alone, has been sold at a recent UK auction at more than 500 euros!!!) It works 100%. My references: I am a vintage synth collector, on eBay since 1999, 100% positive feedback; some of my machines are pictured in the nice Peter Forrest book on Vintage synthesizers (my name, Fernando Zarone, is in the acknowledgements). According to the actual eBay policy trend, due to the vintage nature of this Minimoog (35 yrs old), it is sold AS IS, NO RETURNS are possible. Anyway, I don't think you'll be able to find a better one in the future! If any question, please consider I shall have some difficulties to reply from april 8th to 12th, being abroad for Easter holidays. I'll be able to give a precise shipping cost after the end of auction. Happy bidding!"
