"This Minimoog Model D has been in my smoke-free studio for 17 years. The walnut case shows some wear, as you can see in the photos, on the front corners. You can also see in the photo of the mod wheel panel that the plastic is slightly bubbled at the bottom corners. I've also included a photo of the AC cord connection on the top/back panel, which is slightly frayed. Finally, the keys do not align perfectly, which is typical for Minimoogs. With the flaws now admitted, here's the good stuff about this instrument.
I've used it in numerous recordings and occasional performances and lecture/demonstrations, and this Minimoog has been sturdy and reliable, and the sound is what you expect -- fat and crisp across the many octaves at its disposal. Use that built-in A-440!
The serial number is 4408, or possibly 4468 -- as you can see from the photo, it's hard to tell. Either way, it's one of the older Minimoogs, built in Williamsville, NY. Everything works well on the instrument, and the oscillators are easy to calibrate when needed, which is not often. Plug it in, let it warm up, connect to a good sound system (it will destroy small speakers!), and that Moog sound comes out. This instrument will be professionally packed with great care on the first business day after the auction closes."
