1973 MINIMOOG MODEL D

A great early Minimoog Model D with vintage cream painted case for sale serviced and in superb working order.

It’s had a full service by a top engineer and is in superb operating condition: new electrolytics, power supply recapped, keyboard contact springs cleaned/aligned, rebushed, calibrated and tuned. 

Has an S-Trig Hold mod above the tuning control – a keyboard hold switch for hands-free drone use (works really well with the 1125 Sample And Hold unit we’re selling). 

It sounds absolutely superb and plays beautifully – it’s an utter joy to use.

We recently provided a Minimoog to Adrian Utley for use with the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble: we highly recommend checking them out live – he sent us some very nice feedback and a photo of it in his studio as well.

The aged cream paintjob has some character – sonically this Mini is fantastic – the early oscillator and filter combine to produce unmistakable lush thick rich textures that are the hallmarks of a good early Mini.

This Mini sounds and plays every bit as good as it looks: a practical classic that’s also a good investment. The filter is slightly smoother and creamier than later Minis – this Model D has that classic rich larger than life sound.

There are no known operational faults with this unit. (Please note: it is always possible with vintage equipment that some crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used – even during a short delivery period – this can usually be easily rectified either by use or with Caig Deoxit spray).

It’s a USA model wired for 240v UK/EU use.

We aim to always have a selection of Minis available.
