MATRIXSYNTH: A Vintage Moog Clone?

A Vintage Moog Clone?

via David Bulog on the AH list:

"Hi I just got this modular synth today Any clues as to which kitset this was built from --the front panels look professionally made A minimoog was driving it I believe"

followed by:

"A moog modular keyboard was driving it -(not a minimoog as first thought)--uses the same connector as moog keyboard my guess the circuit is a clone of parts of system 55 Im going to obtain the keyboard then i will see how I go my first thoughts are new knobs and recover the case with some black Roland vinyl "

Definitely looks DIY. If anyone has any info on this, feel free to comment or shoot me an email. My contact info is in the bottom right of the site.

Update: It could be an ENS based synth. Via Gino on AH: "Moogs used Cinch Jones connectors and and really old ones had round hi density screw thread connectors on their modulars. They usually only used about 6 pins unless you had VCA and EG knobbage on your controller From the look of that thing I would get it recapped and recalibrated before i ran it for very long, especially if it is an ENS1 based synth."

You can find some info on ENS here, specifically the ENS-76 VCO.
