"Moog" Minimoog Donnimoog Synthesizer with Original Box


via this auction

"Here it is, one of the weirdest episodes in synthesizer history. Just Google Donnimoog and you'll get some interesting stories. I met Don Martin a couple times in the 1990's, but I didn't get this directly from him. I was browsing the old Dr. Sound store in NYC when they had just gotten this piece in the door. Believe it or not, it's a good sounding synth. Doesn't sound exactly like an old Minimoog Model D, perhaps because of the age of the components or if there were some design changes. There's probably a thread on some forum about the specifics. To my ears it sounds more like an original Minimoog than the Voyager/Phatty, but it's purely subjective. Other than the slightly different colors of the rocker switches, it's a visual doppelganger. Serial Number 13285, so I guess he picked up where the real ones left off. We actually used it in the studio for a while, but it's been in the closet in the original box for at least 10 years now. Still looks brand new. Spock with a beard."  See the donimoog label at the bottom of this post for more.
