images at this auction"Minimoog analog synthesizer in near-perfect condition. This unit has recently received a full overhaul by an electronic tech. The following work was done:
* All keyboard bushings were replaced. This dramatically improved the feel of the keyboard. All keys were also aligned.
* All key contacts were deoxidized and cleaned.
* Power supply filter capacitors were replaced with new ones.
* Old IC sockets were replaced with machined gold-plated sockets.
* AC power cable was replaced with one matching in appearance to the original.
* All pots, rotary switches and slide switches were flushed out and relubed.
* Card edge connectors were retensioned and deoxidized.
* All points on the Oscillator PCB were resoldered.
* The Oscillator trimpots were all replaced. This made tuning the synth much easier and made for a more reliable tuning.
* Every last knob and key was manually cleaned.
* Power supply voltages were trimmed.
* The metal chassis was cleaned.
* Blemishes on the woodwork were refinished by a guitar maker to match the original walnut finish as closely as possible.
After this extensive overhaul the Minimoog received a complete calibration - it plays perfectly!"
