MOOG 907 Filter Bank on VEMIA

listed here
Unfortunately there isn't a new image of the actual item. The history is interesting though: "Brand new original new old stock Moog 907 Fixed Filter Bank from 1973, being sold by a recognized figure in the field who was formerly Vice President, Studio Systems Division, Moog Music, Inc. and worked with Bob Moog for more than 20 years. Here's what he says:- 'The unit offered has never been mounted, there are no screw marks whatsoever. It is brand new as of its date of manufacture, which is 08-28-73 (August 28 1973), and inspected on 08-29-73. The assembly is by J.P. which is undoubtedly Mr. Patronski. The serial number (P) is: 7338, and these data plus the handwritten number 11728 are written on the yellow Moog Music Inc. cardboard/paper attached to this filter. It is clean as a whistle, and has been stored in a humidity controlled environment since the day it left the Moog factory in Cheektowaga, NY, USA. in the 'seventies. I took it from the Moog factory in lieu of salary, as per agreement with management at the time, as the old Moog Electronics, Inc. was going under. Note that this is the relatively rare 4-wide Model 907, not found everywhere.' VEMIA NOTE: Although this has four fewer frequencies than the 914 that we had been hoping for, it is still one of the nicest individual lots we have ever had in the auction. These filterbanks are simply irreplaceable and impossible to copy exactly, and to find a brand new one with such provenance is amazing. This is the only module being sold by this owner at this time - and it's been hard enough persuading him finally to part with this one piece of history! A photo has not been possible, but we will show a photo of a similar (not completely identical) used module, taken by the seller in the 70s. The module is untested (since 1973!), and it is possible it may need minor servicing although it is brand new. It will be packed with great care, and a written provenance provided by the seller."

Note the VEMIA auctions end this Saturday.

Update via Jafafa in the comments: "Thanks for linking to my videos. I just KNEW transcoding that old VHS tape was something others might find interesting!

If you're interested in other Apple (non-synth) stuff, be sure to check out the other clips from the video, old laserwriters, etc."
