"PAiA started selling Modular Synthesizer kits in 1972 with its 2700 series. The first ones, model 2700, used buttons for keys. They were followed by the 2720 which came with a keyboard. The series 4700 modulars came next with an improved, quieter design."

A MOOG Modular Find of a Lifetime

This one in via joe. You can find the rest of the pics and discussion on this VSE thread. I mirrored the shots here for when the thread goes to limbo. Images and the find via badhatharry, who had the following to say on the VSE post:

"Hi. First time listener and caller. I joined this forum because I discovered my work had a modular moog sitting uncovered in storage. I talked my boss into letting me get that thing up and running. Today my co-worker (Jacob) and I (Drew) pulled the thing out of storage, ran an air compressor through it, set it up in an empty office, and got it up and running with no maintenance. The pots and switches are all pretty dirty, and will need to be hit with some contact cleaner, but I was able to get the two keyboards and ribbon controller running. I've never used anything like this before (I'm more of a crappy guitar player), but am looking forward to learning how to use this thing.


Here is a list of the moog's components:

2 Keyboard controllers
1 Ribbon controller
1 950 B Scale Programmer (does this tune the keyboards? I know, not really "tune," but for all intents and purposes?)
3 901 ABB Oscillator banks
3 901 VCO
2 904 4 channel mixers
2 960 sequencers
2 962 Sequential switches (no idea what these do)
2 panels of something called "Multiples" with two banks of 4 1/4" jacks. Also have no idea what this does.
2 961 interfaces (no idea about these, either)
1 914 Fixed Filter Bank
1 905 Reverb Unit
1 904 B Voltage Controlled High Pass Filter
1 904 C Filter Coupler (don't know about this one, either)
1 904 A Voltage Controlled Low Pass Filter
3 902 VCA
3 911 Envelope Generators
1 911 A Dual Trigger Delay
1 912 Envelope Follower

Trying to get the sequencer up and running, but when I assign a tone to a track, all it does is pop when the sequencer gets to that track. It's a pretty loud pop. Anyone know what might cause that? Is it just dirty?

Sorry for the long post, but a lot on information to get through. Will update with shorter posts as I figure out how to use this thing."

"It was purchased new, and if I'm reading the codes on the components right, it was made in October of '69."

"I work for the Buck Owens Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, Ca. They know exactly what they have with this thing. It took a while to get my boss to let me mess with it. They tell me that this was the second one shipped. The first one was sent to Wendy Carlos."
