"Moog Source analog synthesizer. I have owned this synth for 14 years - I purchased it in 2000. Cosmetically I would rate the synth 8/10 - see photos. The wood sides are in great shape, all membrane buttons work, and there are some markings and scratches on the chrome as evidenced in the photos.

Functionally there are several issues, which were all present when I bought the synth. The LED display does not display all of the numbers correctly - most display as the should, but the "8" looks like a "0" for instance. See photos for an example.

The data wheel is slightly off center - you can feel it when you rotate it, but it is very slight and does not impede your ability to enter data.

Finally, when you turn the volume all the way down, there is still a slight audible signal. However, it's worth noting that I've used this unit on several commercially-released recordings and none of these issues ever had an impact on this synth's ability to create amazing tones. However, because the synth is over 30 years old, it is sold as-is."
