"Extremely rare brochure from the early 1970's. 8 1/2 x 11", 2 pages. I wonder if these ever even made it into production? I've seen lots of old Sonic 6 synths, but never one of these. And what happened to the Sonic 1 through 4 models?"
According to the book Analog Days (p. 254): “In a nine-month period between December 1971 and September 1972 Van Koevering recorded 121 different sales in 107 different cities in 25 different states. In this period he sold 86 Minimoogs and an additional 168 synthesizers (Sonic V, Sonic VI, and Satellites), plus a range of accessories, including Moog T-Shirts.”You can find the book on the right Synth Books section of this site.
Yes, they really did produce this unit, but I don't know how many. One time back in '95 or so I visited a collector in Kansas City, MO (whose name I've since forgotten) who had a Sonic 5, so I can say I've had my hands on one live and in person.
