MOOG Rouge

images via this auction

Update via Carbon111 in the comments: "From the photos I can see the owner never scraped the black 'cancer' out of it or repaired the switches and sliders. :(

Anyone buying a Rogue, MG1 or a Opus3 should make sure the decayed foam has been cleaned out...it eventually destroys the pots and switches.

Awful gunk to remove. The last few Rogues I've seen on eBay weren't clean."

    The cynic in me is wondering if that's why they're finding their way onto eBay...

    I was making an observation based on the photos - you can see the gunk in the case fenestrations.

    Thought some people would want to know. Certainly didn't think it would make someone pissy...obviously someones got other fish to fry :/
