Moog The Phone Controller

images via this auction

"This auction is for a MOOG The Phone Controller. It powers up great, but I am unsure of how to properly test this unit. I attempted to do some research this, but came up empty handed. I know that MOOG is famous for their Synthesizers, but I have never heard or seen anything like this. This is truly a great piece for any MOOG enthusiast. It includes power supply, and phone cord. The unit itself is in great condition, with no major blemishes. Good Luck!!"

According to the MOOG Archives, in 1983: "Sale of company to management. Emphasis on Contract Manufacturing. Attempt to enter into telecommunications market with a microprocessor-controlled "feature telephone", initially named "Telesys 3", later "The Operator". Design and manufacture "Song Producer". Develop "SL8" and build prototype. Maintain repair operations for Moog products. Produce the "SSK Concertmate" synthesizer for Tandy Corp (Radio Shack)."

Monome 40h

images via this auction

"So this is a Monome 40h kit I just built. It's one of the latest 100 series that was brought by the monome people (november 2007). I just used it a couple of hours. Aluminum faceplate (Schaeffer) and custom wood case. This is hand made DIY so not perfect, but check the picture to see how it looks. In great condition, except for a minor cuff on the faceplate (see last pic).
Fully working of course."
