Some history on this individual synth via the listing: "Moog Sonic 6 synthesizer, serial # S2072, assembled and inspected on January 9, 1975. Includes original power cord. Can be played monophonically or duophonically. This one was marketed as an educational synth, but it makes an unusually good performance synth because you can turn off the signal going out and turn on the speaker any time you want to make a new sound without it going out to the main system, and it folds up into a suitcase. It includes those classic Moog oscillators and the silky smooth Moog ladder filter for unbeatable sound. Plus extras like a ring modulator and two mixable LFOs. And it is great for processing external signals. I put a combo organ through it and got it to sound just like The Who doing "Won't Get Fooled Again".
There is some moderate wear, the edges are not quite as straight as when it was new, and some minor scuffs. But overall it's in very good shape cosmetically. When I got it, it had mushy action and uneven keys. So I replaced all the key bushings. I verified all the keys play properly and don't stick. While I had it open I went through the entire adjustment procedure outlined in the service manual, and it plays in tune now. The service manual and owner's manual can be downloaded free online, and I highly recommend keeping copies of both. Since it is 40 years old I cannot make any guarantees on adjustments or functionality in the future, and I am selling it as-is. But if you should have any problems with it right away, please contact me first.On a technical note for if you are planning on using this long-term. The next time it is opened up I recommend replacing all the trimmer pots with 10-turn trimmers for increased accuracy and stability of the adjustments. They will also make it A LOT easier to adjust."
