via the seller / listing: "Okay. This is a vintage Moog Modular 912 Envelope Follower. And it LOOKS LIKE IT WAS IN A FIRE at some point. I came across it about ten years ago when I got my now-newly-sold Moog Modular system. I bought it only from looking at the front panel and while I was surprised at the condition when it arrived, I figured that seeing as how it was repaired and the front panel isn't wrecked, it really made no difference because this item is a function generator, not a sound generator. Before you bid on this, look carefully at the circuit board and the electronics. I never plugged this in and so I'm selling it as-is ASSUMING that it works. It looks like the diodes, transistors and variable resistors were replaced. And judging from the new solder points and new parts, some care went into restoring it. The front panel could use some more cleaning, but it's actually good to stick in your box right now. The front panel looks fine. Not great. But not awful either. Look at the picture. Your mom will never notice.
If nothing else it will be an interesting piece of history and quite a conversation piece in your modular system because it's a REAL MOOG MODULE so get over yourself. Where else are you going to find one of these? Probably nowhere. So decide what you're gonna do. Time's wasting. You may have a 911 and a 913 so fill in that gap with this HOT little number 912. This little guy really looks like a hero if you ask me (which you would if you were here), it's been through so much. It might be the sole survivor of a Big Moog Flameout for all we know. A Moog Champion. Maybe he pulled a trigger delay out with him and gave it input to output resuscitation. We'll never know what stories it holds in its quiet, yet proud circuitry. Right now it's just an orphan with no modular buddies to follow and swap voltages with. It's sad, really. But you can help. And I think you know the right thing to do. Yes, you do.
I have no way to test this, otherwise I would. But just like trying to choose the sex of your child, there are no guarantees. And like your teenage son, it may or may not work. But I think it does. This is all pretty exciting isn't it? What are you waiting for? Make it yours - don't let some nasty bid sniper rob you of your dreams. On behalf of this 912, I thank you."
