MOOG Liberation Funds Syntar
images via this auction.
Here's an interesting auction. A MOOG Liberation being sold to fund a Syntar. Note the Syntar actually predated the MOOG Liberation as the first keytar ever, a interesting bit of synth history. The Syntar featured an amazingly expressive control interface on the neck that has yet to be reproduced and it did sound quite nice. You can read more about the Syntar on Carbon111's excellent Syntar Page as well as this interview here on MATRIXSYNTH.
It's worth noting that the person behind the Syntar was George Mattson who is currently the man behind the new Mattson Mini Modular.
As for this Liberation, here are the details from the auction:
"# This auction is only for a complete MOOG Liberation Analogue Synthesizer
# In good physical and playing condition with checking and dents in the wood
# Please click on the images below to see larger photos to inspect physical condition
# NEW chipforbrains slider caps
# NEW chipforbrains sliders installed by analogsynthservice.com
# Foam sheet over PCB has been removed and PCB has been cleaned!
# Rackmountable power/CV unit
# Control Cable has not nicks or cuts
# Hardshell carrying case
# Print outs of the owners and service manuals
# Shipping is $50 in the USA, $150 elsewhere
# Interested? All offers will be considered. The chipforbrains sliders are meant to be drop in replacements. However CY has stated that some Liberations will behave slightly differently in the Envelope Generators. If you're familiar with the Rogue or the Liberation, you will notice a difference in the behavior.
I am selling my Moog Liberation because I asked George Mattson to build me one of his unfinished SYNTARs that has sat idle nearly 30 years. As you can imagine it took quite a bit of money to convince him to dust off the SYNTAR and continue working on it. Subsequent interest in the SYNTAR has brought along his latest project: the Mattson Mini Modular .. I order two populated cabinets, so you can see, I need to LIBERATE myself of this Moog to pay Mr. Mattson."

"Before I ship this to the new owner, I had the idea to film it because... well, it sounds cheesy but this tone represents a nice remembrance of my childhood for me.
Enjoy! :-) "

MOOG Prodigy - Signed by Bob MOOG
images via this auction
Details (not me):
"I met Bob Moog in the winter of 1996 at the Zounds store in Chicago. He signed this synth for me. Bob was an amazing man. A humble man, A true scientist with a spiritual side that ran deep. There are those who would insist on a minimoog model D. But the prodigy is much more stable. This is my very first piece of gear. I learned about synthesis on this prodigy. This is truley my prized possesion. Flawless condition. Moog bass sounds that cannot be replicated anywhere."
