"This is a unique opportunity for getting another piece of musical history from my precious, beloved collection, going to be slimmed down,
on grounds of my age. If you are reading this action ad, you do know what this synth is. It’s a musical monster, modified by the Moog Guru mr. Rudi Linhart in order to turn a super-powerful but temperamental synth, originally showing a plenty of circuital and software bugs, of limitations and tuning instability into a real jewel, with an unparalleled MIDI implementation (yes, that machine is also able to SEND in real time every turn of your knobs from MIDI OUT…), plus a reliable auto-tuning routine, a stereo output and… in order to know more, please go to https://lintronics.de/lamm.html If you have already a Memorymoog (not a Plus!) and want such a modification, including its hardware improvements, like gold-plated connectors (one of the main faults of the original one was the low quality of the plenty of connectors/cables…), the implementation of the completely rewritten, powerful and reliable software, etc., you must send the machine to Germany, have it modified (not an unexpensive job, due to the lot of high level work by a top engineer…) and have it sent back to you. This particular LAMM is in great condition. Esthetically, the panel is near perfect, the wood and metal have some minor signs of the time. The machine works like it should: two years ago it was recapped (PSU), all the internal contacts cleaned up and voices calibrated. Moreover, the original cooling fan (horribly noisy!) had been replaced by a skilled technician with a brand new, 2020 high quality, silent one, with no visible external mod! Up to now, ALL of the 6 voices are tuned, as shown in the pic. The keyboard feel is like it used to be from the beginning (not the best in the story of the synths). Also the keybed has been cleaned up and checked, all the bushings are in situ. Naturally, due to the analogue nature of the beast, requiring periodical tuning, and to the shipping stress, the LAMM, like every other analogue synth, may need a calibration on the arrival. With these machines either you have to be able to perform those procedures (clearly explained indeed in the included manual - copy) or have to know a reliable technician! Not rocket science, indeed (I have done it personally in the past a couple of times). I have owned it since the 90s (second owner) and made it be updated to the latest software and hardware release. The machine will be shipped with a custom made, safe wood enclosure. The synth is heavy (about 17 kg plus the case). It will be packed into a wooden, well padded box. Go with confidence, it’s a rare, if not the last, opportunity for getting this beauty in such brilliant condition."
