MOOG System 12 Modular


Click here for shots via this auction.

Details:
"The synth was built on 9/21/73 and also has some of the original R A Moog modules. Also included are eleven of the original 1/4 audio patch cords, 4 trigger patch cords, Moog Modular service manual and a photocopy of the Moog System 15 users manual. All of the modules on the synth are complete (including the original knobs), work perfectly and were never adjusted or re-calibrated (which can be done with the use of the included service manual, if you know what you are doing!). The keyboard is also complete and works properly including the gold contacts which were just cleaned with De-Ox compound. Both original covers for the keyboard and main cabinet are also included. The original socket recepticle on the power cord was cracked, partially disintegrated and was replaced by seperate crimped connectors (its not original but is does work and is electrically safe!) The cabinet tolex is in good shape with no rips or tears but has been refinished to cover the stenciling that the original owner (which was a west coast college) painted numbers on it for inventory and theft control. The pictures show the current tolex condition which looks 100 percent better then it did when I got it! The original modules, power supply and cabinet still have the original yellow Moog manufacturing stickers in place. Now the upgrade part! - three new modules were added to replace the original Moog 907 fixed filter bank module, which in my opinion is a glorified EQ!. These new modules were made by Mike Bucki at Moog Custom Engineering and consist of a 904B High Pass Filter, 911A Dual Trigger Delay and 1528 Sample and Hold. The original Moog and some of the R A Moog modules consist of a 902 VCA, 903 Noise Source, 904A Low Pass Filter, two 911 Envelope Generators. 921 oscillator, 921A Oscillator Driver and two 921B Oscillators."

  2. The 904 Fixed Filter Bank is desirable module. Somehow I doubt that it wasn't sold on it's own.

    Also note that this 12 has 921 Oscilators, not likely. They used 901's. Is this a 15? Maybe...

    This auction gives a date that the unit was built. It seems odd since there are modules branded "RA Moog" and "Moog"

  4. Of course, if you're selling, you're glad if Matrix posts it.

  5. So who does matrix serve? The sellers or the buyers? Meaning, if he gets a message from both, who will he choose to serve?

  6. I didn't get the bloody RMI Harmonic.

    Matrixsynth, Analogue Heaven, etc.. all conspired to make the price rise beyond reason.

    Gonna buy a HiWatt Tape Echo instead, and two schippman filters.

  7. mmmm, I know people have griped about the posting of auctions that obviously appear to be frauds, yet they are still linked. I cannot believe that he would refrain from posting a legit auction to depress the pool of potential bidders in order to give you a better chance..how is that cool, I gotta believe he's better than that.
