"The Realistic Concertmate MG-1 was produced by Moog and sold at Radioshack stores in the late 70s-early 80s. Its functionality is very similar to that of the Moog Rogue, though the MG-1 includes a few additional features, namely full polyphony. Here's a great demo video covering all MG-1 tones and functions: http://youtu.be/W3kFZ1fUeJA

I purchased this Moog Realistic MG-1 from the original owner a few years back. It had been well cared for and apparently rarely used, though I made a few necessary upgrades to bring it into the 21st century. Here are the details:

-I removed all of the dreaded foam from the inside of the front panel and cleaned all internal components.
-Local synth specialists at SwitchedOn cleaned and de-noised all of the sliders and pots, and swapped out the antiquated RCA inputs/outputs for 1/4" ins/outs.
-Backplate has been modded with Moog branding. Serial number and manufacturing info are left intact.

This machine performs like new, is in excellent condition and has been well maintained."
