via the seller: "This is a Minimoog model D synthesizer serial number 10625. I am the original owner and bought it new in 1979. It is still in great shape, both outwardly and functionally. I used it a lot for three years, mostly in a home studio. I babied it and protected it like a mother hen. It was never moved around much and it has been stored in the case I custom made for it, ever since. That has kept it in great condition to this day. The cabinet, face and knobs are all in very nice condition. The keys are all lined up properly. It plays nicely and all functions work as far as I am able to tell. The only things that I can find wrong with it after all these years are, the power pilot light is burned out, the waveform switch for oscillator three could stand a cleaning as it crackles a bit if switched while depressing a key, and two keys act as though they could stand a contact cleaning at times. Other than that, I can find nothing wrong. It includes the custom built, padded case, the 1120 pedal controller and S-trigger plug. The earlier Minimoogs had oscillators that drifted out of tune, while the later ones had stabilized oscillators. This one came with the updated oscillator board and always stayed in tune well. The Minimoog was the synthesizer used by so many professional musicians. The three oscillators and low-pass filter gave it a rich, familiar sound. This unit is all original and was never modified other than a pad on the bottom so it wouldn't scratch my Hammond."
