via Kenneth Eldhardt:"Even though I was informed by another forum member that somebody else chopped the legs down on a Polymoog and called it a coffee table, I'm not sure that really makes a legimate, functional, or asthetically pleasing coffee table. So I did a full Polymoog to coffee table conversion. It was a lot more work than I originally wanted to put into it, but it came out great and really makes a nice coffee table. Later it will go up on ebay. I don't have a decent living room setting, so I'll have to take it somewhere to get better pics in a nice living room, but for now it sits finished in my garage and in the initial pictures below."
okay, deep breath, this doesn't look genuine.
ReplyDeleteIf it is then please refrain from destroying instruments to make furniture. Please? Pretty please? Or do I have to slap a bitch?
If memory serves, it was bought either non-functioning or semi-functioning and parted out for spares to keep other ones running. Since not many people were looking for a chassis, it's probably as good a use for a Polymooog as any.
ReplyDeleteIt ultimately took parts from 2 others to get mine running.
ReplyDeleteThis synth was bought fully working in 1981. It however developed many problems and was way too much trouble to fix, so I parted it out. Some of the parts went to fix up other Polymoogs. I used the Chassis for this coffee table, and have extracted the 3 band resonator section and it will go into a case for use as a stand alone unit. So almost nothing is being wasted.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been nice if Matrixsynth corrected my spelling mistake rather than just add [sic] after it!
