""UglyBetty" MicroMoog Serial # 5511

This was purchased recently in non-working order and just went through an extensive and total overhaul on my tech bench:

All pots & switches thoroughly cleaned and lubricated
Keyboard cleaned and leveled but not rebushed
Defective IC's, caps, transistors replaced (Oscillator, Envelope Gen, and Filter circuits)
Re-calibrated and tuned
All interface ins/outs tested per service manual specs
All surfaces inside and out cleaned up from 35 years of grime and bugs

This is a very ugly MicroMoog in used yet UN-attractive condition; Not the girl you would take to the Prom, but she has a beautiful personality. Very stable and reliable operation now.

Random Knobs are from a MiniMoog and other odd resources

The missing slider caps can be purchased here:
