"Moog MINIMOOG MODEL D Synthesizer. Serial # 9504 (1977). Comes with original Moog ("Forge" by Anvil) case... I'm the second owner and from what I understand in 1977 this synth went to (or was used by?) a start-up called Sequential Circuits Co. (in a Sunnyvale, California garage, before they became SCI and moved to San Jose) where Dave Smith and John Bowden [Bowen] were working on a Minimoog, Arp 2600 memory programmer called the Model 700 - this later became the patch memory for the famous Prophet 5 synth. At that time Sequential Circuits would do a mod that allowed all three oscillators to be accessed by the Model 700 involving extra input jacks. This Mini received that mod and has since been returned to original, but the 3 extra jacks remain...they are very clean and are marked "Key", "2" and "3" (see pics). I have another Minimoog that has this same mod that I use with an early Model 700 and it's really an amazing set-up if you can find one...they do turn up on Ebay sometimes.
The Anvil case is in good shape with some scuffs and scratches. The foam is holding up but is getting old and will need to be replaced in the coming years."
