"Here's a link to the video I made using this keyboard on 11 December 2010 called "Bass & lead sounds on the Minimoog": [above]
I've had this Minimoog since 1986, and it's been mostly in storage since the early 1990s. I took it in for servicing this year at dBm Pro Audio/Music Services (320 West 37th Street, NYC 10018). It now works perfectly and sounds great. Here's the description of what they did:
Disassembled unit and blew all dust & debris from interior. Worked hi-grade contact cleaner into all jacks, pots & switches using precision applicator. Reseated all connections to VCO/VCF PCB. Rebuilt/recalibrated main power supply. Removed all boards for complete cleaning/refurbishing of edge connectors, corrected solder joints. Removed keybed and cleaned all contacts and buss bars. Replaced incorrect key springs and re-aligned. Complete calibration including VCA, VCF, VCO and A=440 tuning standard. Cleaned in and out. Bench tested keyboard functions across the full dynamic range, and over time. Now performs perfectly to spec."
