Two separate listings. Pics and descriptions for each follow.
via this auction: "This Moog Melodia is in as close to mint condition as you could hope for, I even have the original box post marked 1961!
All original parts including the hard to find original antenna (usually this part would get lost through the years)
This theremin works perfectly and sounds amazing as you would expect from a vintage Bob Moog design. This was the first of his discrete transistor kits. In my opinion this one has better quality wood for the cabinet as compared to a few others I have owned in the past.
The Melodia is a Moog Theremin that was originally made available in 1960-61 in both kit form and assembled. It could be assembled with a few hand tools and featured a walnut cabinet .The Moog Melodia theremin has a five-octave range, extending from two octaves below to three octaves above Middle C. This one is in almost new condition and fully operational.
P.S. It is configured to use 4 AA batteries as the original 6v that was clipped in the center is no longer manufactured. You can see the addition of the battery case on the under side of the lid above the circuit area."

"Selling this original ultra rare R.A. Moog Melodia Theremin by Bob Moog probably produced in the early 1960ies.
To my knowledge this is a factory produced theremin not a kit model.
The front panel shows beautiful Melodia logo together with the R.A. Moog logo...it shines history..
Item is in great restored condition, inside looks good. No excessive corrosion etc.
Woodwork is all original and great condition, original brass volume antenna plate on the side in place.
Antenna has been replace with modern one, old antenna was missing.
If you are looking for a super rare R.A. Moog item this is it.
Pictures are of actual item."
