MOOG Minimoog

images via this auction

"Mike at ModuSonics totally cleaned her up, replaced all jacks, added an oscillator buffer board(an original Moog upgrade) for better tuning, CV/Gate In's and Out's, cleaned up the cabinet, etc... etc... I added a picture of the invoice to this auction. Total cost of clean up and upgrades were $1620 USD. Mike worked for the Original Moog Music in the 70's and 80's and used original parts that he had from the old company and had acquired over time.

This Minimoog is in incredible condition for it's age and stays in tune better than some of my newer analog synths!! Everything functions 100% and looks great!!

Serial # 2960 means it has the oscillators that are the most sought after for their sound. Newer Model D's had more stable oscillators, but lacked a little in fatness. Having had the Oscillator buffer board added, these super-fat Oscillators are extremely stable, even right after you power it on.

The CV/Gate jacks let you send and receive CV and Gate signals. You can use it to play your modular synth or use a sequencer that sends CV/Gate signals to play it!! Mike also added a on/off switch for the Glide, so that if you are using it with a sequencer you can turn the glide fully off!!

This is an excellent example of a 100% functional Minimoog that should last someone forever with low maintainance every few years.

Auction Includes: The Minimoog Model D Serial # 2960 in said condition and a copy of the ModuSonics repair invoice.
