The following is the description from the listing:
"After much soul searching, I've decided to sell my Original R.A. Moog Model D
MiniMoog. I remember getting in the car with my dad and driving up to
Trumansburg in the summer of 1970.My dad played a Hammond B3 and was so
intrigued with creating new sounds. We were going to meet Dr. Moog and possibly
buy something. After an amazing exhibition of the many synths on display, my dad
purchased this MiniMoog model D Serial #1003 The 3rd One Ever Made!
This
beautiful MiniMoog has been well cared for its entire life. It has been played
on many studio recordings, and used on a number of live performances as well. It
has always been well maintained and serviced. Everything functions correctly and
sounds great! The only issue is that the AC cord was damaged and had to be
repaired. Also a tiny piece of wood chipped off many years ago, a purely
cosmetic damage. These early MiniMoogs can be temperamental, so having a
qualified technician to maintain it is very important.
There's not
much more to say...If you're reading this you already know that these early
MiniMoogs Model D's created some of the Fattest and Juiciest synth tones ever!!
Countless artists play and record with them and they continue to be the most
desirable synth ever made. You should also know that serial # 1001, and 1002 are
in museums, so this Model D MiniMoog #1003 is the earliest production model in
private hands. I'm open to offers, but please be realistic. I would love this to
be picked up in person, and I'm willing to drive 100+ miles to deliver
personally. The thought of handing it over to UPS/FedEx is scary, but that said
I will ship it double boxed and "overpacked" to insure a safe arrival. This
MiniMoog holds a special place in my heart, my hopes are for a new owner who
will continue to play, love, and enjoy it as much as it has been for the past
50+ years"
