Minimoog Model D SN 4831

via this auction
via the listing: "The instruments under Serial 6000 have the reputation of being the BEST. Enthusiasts talk about them in, almost, mystical terms, they have a characteristic sound, due to the positioning and components choosen by specific design, of the original boards, allowing a cross talk between circuits that was lost after the 6000 Series The most Vibrant Filters Stimulate Remarkable Bass. The boards made by the original contractors handpicked and approved by Bob Moog. There's a reason why I owned Minimoog 4831 for over 30 years. It is simply the best sounding instrument I've ever had and I've owned racks of them. Play the pitch wheel against real time filter alterations. You'll keep playing this box for the next 30 years. Find a copy of Jan Hammer's 'The First Seven Days' Listen to "Darkness Earth : In Search Of A Sun" - You'll hear, understand, what I'm talkin'about.

MINIMOOG Model D 4831. Fully Functional. Original Electronics. Original Case."

Moog SonicSix 6 Vintage Analog

via this auction

"Vintage Moog Sonic Six monophonic analog synthesizer. This synth is fully functional and in excellent shape, the inside in near mint cosmetic condition. Looks really nice. It includes the original manuals as well. This is a rare synth and has the earlier Arp filter. It sounds great, a unique synth that you don't see around too often but definitely worth hearing. Interesting XY mod features, gritty analog sound, with the crazy resonance on the Arp filter. The keyboard is a bit quirky being stuck inside a case like that, you can't play it too hard or you'll jam the keys, but with a lighter touch you'll be fine, they all trigger great as they should. See pictures below for more details. Don't miss out!"

WASP SPECIAL SYNTHESISER SN 10015

Wasp Special Demo

YouTube Uploaded by 1224Johnmac on Feb 3, 2012

"Here's a little demo of my old Wasp Special vintage mono synth from the 1980's. I'm trying to use all of the knobs to show they are fully functioning. This is a rare model of Wasp with a real wood case. It is serial number 00015 which suggests it was one of the first built. I'm using a modified Epiphone Valve Junior amp to play it through. The sound is being picked up by the built in mic on the Vado camera I'm filming with so the sound reproduction isn't great. I hope you find the video useful. I will be parting company with the Wasp soon."

Repaired and modded synth jam

YouTube Uploaded by ChrisLody on Feb 13, 2012

This is a little synth jam that i've been planning for a while. All of the synths and effects in this video have been repaired by me over the last few years. Here's what i used:

Korg Poly 800 (far left)

I bought this from a cash generator for £30 and found it had a scrambled memory, missing joystick and a dead oscillator. A previous owner had modded the battery compartment to take a pp3 instead of the usual 6 D cells. I replaced the battery and fitted a knob to the joystick to make it usable. It was years later that my electronic skill were good enough to track the dead oscillator down to a faulty op-amp. With the help of the forum below i was able to replace it and get it up and running.

While i had the thing i bit i decided to add the 'Moog Slayer' and 'Filter FM' mods to it which make it much more fun :D
