"This one has gotten the full Synthropology™️ treatment meaning that we dig into our 20+ years of archives and experience working on the PPGs. We attend to everything that we have come across as weak points in all the PPGs that ever came across our path.

We truly strive for PPG excellence!

The PPGs have a certain reputation for being unreliable. Even though they do have quirks, (we prefer to call it character) there are many things that can done to make them MUCH more reliable and hence enjoyable.

Highlights of upgrades includes (but not limited to):

* Brand new VFD display
* Extensive power supply rebuilt and upgrade
* Cleaned keybed and and new keybed bushings
* Extensive testing before delivery
* v8 Operating System"

"Included with the Xpander are both the Owner’s and Service Manuals. There are four data cassettes included but I have no idea if they still have coercivity to transfer the data (Xpanders have cassette data in/out ports)."

via this auction

"Moog Prodigy model 336A monophonic synthesizer in good working condition. Produced by Moog from 1979 to 1984 and only 11,000 were made.
The synthesize features a dual voltage-controlled oscillator design to deliver classic analog sounds with easy-to-use controls. Oscillator 1 has sawtooth, triangle and pulse waveforms. Oscillator 2 has sawtooth, triangle and square waveforms. The waveforms can be detuned and the oscillators can be synchronized. In sync mode, the pitch wheel alters the tonality of the pitch as opposed to the pitch itself. There are Oscillator Mod, Mixer, Filter, Filter Contour and Loudness Contour control sections, as well as Tune and Slide Wheels. The Prodigy features a genuine Moog four-pole 24dB/octave lowpass filter (the Emphasis knob), A/D/S envelope generator, and LFO with square or triangle waveforms and routing to the VCF, VCO, or both. The synthesizer features both Pitch and Mod wheels."
