"Up for sale (and priced to sell) is one Moog Prodigy. I've placed the year to 1980-1981 (Could be wrong). The serial is unclear because it looks like 7081, but I know that the unit didn't include CV/Gate (like this one) after number 4610. It's smudged, so you be the judge. Perhaps to a collector's chagrin, I personally opened it up and restored it. I am an amateur, but I followed the instructions as prescribed by this youtube video:
I cleaned the circuit board, soap brushed the control panel, replaced the missing plastic switches, dusted the knobs, and then sanded and refinished the wood panels (sides/front) with a darker varnish to match my Dave Smith synths. I think I did a good job for an amateur, but your endorsement will only be ratified and vindicated by the money with which you purchase it. I priced it to lowest fair price plus the money I put into its restoration and reasonable shipping price.
Functionally, it is in fantastic shape. The keys obviously have a bit of wear after 40 years, but each one works as it should. The only sticky switch is the filter/loudness release on/off switch. If you are nice to it, it will flip just fine. There is some give in all of the knobs and switches, but this synth is meant to be handled gently like any piece of 40 year old equipment so don't be stabbing it Keith Emerson style."
