"For Sale : 1971 Musonics MiniMoog Model D Serial # 1242. (making it production unit # 242). DOB 12/22/71.
This particular Mini is very unique, because it not only contains all of the original hardware (RA Moog), original wood casing, but she's in beautiful shape, & 100 % functional as well. There are no scratchy pots, double triggering of keys, or other issues to report that plague vintage Mini's. This one has been completely refurbished by Chris @ This Old Synth which included new bushings, recapped power supply, tuning, scaling, installation of the OptoKey upgrade, and more. From the cosmetics side - she only has one minor blemish on the casing in the front (right side), yet overall, I would say easily a 9/10 condition. Purely, a studio/museum piece synth here - babied, and never taken out of the house other than for occasional maintenance.
1) OptoKey upgrade : This upgrade uses optical sensors to replace the older flaky contact system, making it immune to dust and corrosion over time. It completely eliminates double triggering or dirty contacts repairs in the future. I cannot say enough for the touch and responsiveness of this MiniMoog with this upgrade ! It also provides MIDI with basic on/off functionality, yet it does not transmit CC messages as an FYI. Note : The MIDI inserts are not drilled though the wood, nor through the metal casing - see pics, as 'non destructive' approach here was taken here to preserve the original condition of the synth in all respects.
2) CV Mod by CAE. This particular mod allows you to be MIDI controllable via a Roland MPU-101 to MIDI interface or as such.
3) The original old 2-prong lamp style cod was replaced, to a newer 3-prong grounded variety."
