Moog Polymoog

via this auction

Update via Reed in the comments: "I used to have one like that: a Polymoog Synthesizer that said 'Polymoog Keyboard' on the front panel. What's the story with that?"

Update via unfrostedpoptart in the comments: "As to Reed's question, the first units were called "Polymoog Keyboard". Moog later came out with the preset model and stole the name Keyboard for it and renamed the existing model the Polymoog Synthesizer."

  2. I just bought this! It's in excellent shape cosmetically and about 90% functional. I'll probably start by replacing the power supply caps and go from there.

    I haven't owned a Polymoog since about 1987 (picked up cheap at a mall organ store!), so this should be fun.

    As to Reed's question, the first units were called "Polymoog Keyboard". Moog later came out with the preset model and stole the name Keyboard for it and renamed the existing model the Polymoog Synthesizer.
