Published on Jan 8, 2015 DreamsOfWires

"Moog Slim Phatty & Arturia Beatstep. I've only just acquired the Beatstep, but I thought I'd do something quick and simple with it, using the Eventide Space for delay and reverb."

ARP Odyssey 2800 White Face Analog Synthesizer Restored

via this auction

"Fully functional Arp Odyssey 2800 white face that's been previously restored and sounds amazing. All functions, sliders, switches, knobs, keys and jacks work flawlessly! Great condition, really clean especially the face and just a few blemishes on the rear panel.

Everything was meticulously cleaned by hand during the restoration. Sliders were dismantled, cleaned, polished, lubed, tested and only the best internals were used plus all original Arp slider caps are installed. Each switch was cleaned and all work perfectly snapping in to position. The keybed was dismantled, keys cleaned, buss bars and spring contacts polished, key heights leveled, and new key bushings installed so the action is like new and all keys trigger perfectly. The transpose switch and pitch bend rotary knob also work great. The boards were cleaned by hand as well and tantalum capacitors replaced then everything was properly calibrated. The power supply is still strong and tests perfect at stock calibration settings. About a year ago the Odyssey was taken apart when the restoration work was done and it's been working flawlessly ever since. It stays covered in a clean studio and gets regular use so I know each function is working as it should. Truly amazing sounding and a pleasure to play in it's restored state. Reluctantly selling because I have four 2800's and need other gear for the studio."

Vintage 1974 Moog Minimoog D Synthesizer Ser. No. 6327

Some history via the seller:

"1974 Moog Minimoog Model D synthesizer Ser. # 6327 (Nov. '74)
Restored and upgraded with new power supply caps and diodes, new capacitors, Oscillator board upgrades/mods with temperature stabilization and new trimpots for improved tuning stability. (same classic warm sound, but you can actually use this on stage without having to re-tune between songs, which is a nightmare with stock old minimoogs).

This is a very special, exceptionally great sounding Minimoog that I'm hesitant about selling, but after two decades with it, I think it's time to part ways with it.

I bought this back in 1995 from a vintage analog synth dealer in California...I believe his company was called 'Analogue Modular' and I found out about it from a Keyboard magazine classified ad.
It was in pretty rough shape, several years later (around the year 2000) I had the Mini completely restored by Kurt Stewart in Arizona, and he rebuilt the cabinet, upgraded power supply, added stability mods to oscillator board as well as the pitch wheel stability improvement mod, replaced old worn caps, refinished cabinet in dark walnut, and replaced all key bushings. It was like having a brand new Minimoog. Since then, I've only taken the Mini out of it's case a few times to record on studio albums. It sounds amazing and it sounds better than any other vintage Minimoog I've come across and owned (I previously owned another Mini with an even older serial number, but it sounded thin compared to this one). Kurt Stewart, the tech, said this was one of the best sounding Minimoogs he'd ever come across. The original seller told me the exact same thing years prior."

Moog Taurus I Bass Pedals SN 1923

via this auction

"Moog Taurus I bass pedals synthesizer
Model 205A
Serial No. 1923
(1978-1979)

Restored and serviced. All functions, sliders, and pedals work good.
(very recently re-calibrated and re-tuned internally)

*Includes hard case.

Synth control panel still has clear plastic film from the factory.

-Missing clear control panel window, but does have the original plastic frame and a temporary black plastic hinged cover (basically just there to block dust). You could have a new one made/cut from plexiglass / acrylic, then just add some small magnets and metal strips if you want the original control panel window restored.

This synth was recently serviced (cleaned and re-calibrated) and was refit back in 2000 by Kurt Stewart in Arizona, where he updated some of the wiring, updated the power supply, replaced the AC power cord with a new, longer one, and worked on the pedals and case. Unit is solid in the recording studio, tunes well, and sounds amazing (even better than the new Taurus 3 pedals)."
