Lo-Fi Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics cover) on the Realistic Moog MG-1
"This is the very first thing I ever recorded. (Well, before this there was a few years of goofing around with cassette decks. But that was all vocal "comedy".)
Early 1983, I'm 14 or or maybe just 15 years old here. I just bought my first synth, a used Realistic/Moog MG-1 Concertmate MG-1 which had RCA inputs for letting you play along to your stereo. That was all the mixer it took to do this tape-to-tape, sound-on-sound recording (hence the incredibly high noise floor). Every instrument is the MG-1. Please forgive my playing, it's literally my first day. (I was already a self-taught piano player, so not my first day on a keyboard. But close!)
Farewell Radio Shack!"

"Fully overhauled in 2021 by one of the two best synth restoration and repair shops in the country. Not just some contact cleaning and battery swap and listed as "fully serviced". This was restored to last another 30 or so years. Every single potential future problem was replaced and calibrated. I have all documentation to prove it which is also something people normally list and cant provide. Local pick up or drop off in Southern California only for now. I have a brand new unopened Fatar drop in replacement keyboard to go with it as well but they did such a good job restoring the original that I just left it as is.
Full list of overhaul below but please inquire for more details:
Power supply updated, replaced all smoothing capacitor, bridge rectifiers, regulators and trimmers.
Replaced ALL electrolytic capacitors throughout the whole synth.
Replaced ALL trimmer potentiometers throughout the whole synth
Replaced ALL analog switching ICs throughout the synth due to their known high failure rate
Replaced CV sample and hold capacitors due to their known high failure rate
Batteryreplaced and factory sounds loaded
All panel controls cleaned
Cleaned keyed and all keys, cleaned key contact strips and polished contact on keyboard PCBs. ALSO INCLUDES REPLACEMENT FATAR KEYBOARD for the future and if preferred to the original keyboard. They did such a good job on the keyboard I never bothered installing the fatar.
Calibrated to factory standards and had a 24 hour burn in.
This was a more than thorough overhaul by one of the best in the whole world."
