"Minimoog Model D with Kenton MIDI conversion > This minimoog has been recently serviced and plays very well. It has a Kenton MIDI conversion which allows it to be played over MIDI. The top panel is in good condition but the case has quite a few knocks, especially on the left side - see the photos. The origin of the red paint and red knobs is unknown but is a professional job. The case was obviously dismantled and painted inside and out. There are two non-standard silver knobs for the master tuning and Osc 2 tuning. These are 'vernier' knobs which allow for very fine tuning. They have 10 turns instead of the original knob's 1 turn.

The voltage plaque says 110V but it was converted a long time ago to UK /euro voltage with a UK plug.

In response to questions about this, all I can say about the modifications is that they were there when I bought it in around 1990 - I find the fine tuning knobs really useful. I don't have any internal photos but the guy that serviced it said that some circuit boards have been changed, I believe it has the later oscillator boards. VEMIA can collect and pack: 18GBP."
