via this auction

As always, the description below is from the listing. For those new to MATRIXSYNTH, none of the auction items featured here on MATRIXSYNTH are mine. I just post what comes in. Also I typically only post the interesting bits of a description, so if you plan to bid, ALWAYS make sure to read the listing in full on eBay.



That said, here are some interesting bits from the listing:

"You are Bidding on Roger Powells original Mini Moog that he used to play in Todd Rundgrens Utopia!...

This moog at the moment is not making sound. When I first inherited it from Todds Fan Network about 20 years ago it made a perfect clear sound! But now it seems to have stopped. It is also missing the wheels as you can see by the photo. Otherwise it is in awesome condition. The insides look great. This is perfect for someone who knows about these instruments and can work on it a little...

I have no documented proof that this is Rogers but here is how I got it. Utopia had a warehouse up in my neck of the woods in the 80's and it burned down. Some of the stuff was salvaged and stored at Cris Andersons studio in Bearsville, one of todds sound engineers at the time. When the band no longer wanted the equipment it was given to the woman who used to run the Utopia Times. And she had no place to store it so it was given to me because I was actively helping with Utopia Times.. did the artwork etc. I also got Rogers poly fusion keyboard,(no plug unfortunately) drum machine, some kind of interface and also one of Willie Wilcox's drum from the Motorcycle drum set he used on the RA tour. I just dont play keyboards and I decided to part with it. I will be selling most of the stuff over the next month. I am sorry that I don't have anything written but I can assure you .. it was Rogers."
