If you need any more encouragement then read Tony’s new blog “Which Minimoog?” (it even includes the “B” word…)
From our tests so far this is clearly a wonderful-sounding example of an early-oscillator Minimoog; we will date it precisely once we do the service work, but it is clearly around 1974, possibly ’73.
Will be supplied fully-overhauled including full keyboard service for smooth playability. Power supply recapped, pots cleaned and all boards gone through and octave buffer board installed. The result will be very stable for a synth of this era, playing extremely well, and with that unmistakable sound of the finest Moogs.
For a synth approaching its 50th birthday it wears its history extremely well. The case has been gently waxed to retain its lovely original patina and character. The control panel is very good overall with one patch of wear in the Mixer section, and some of the knobs have light oxidation around the edges of the caps. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.
220/240v unit. A step-up transformer will be required for use on 110/120v supplies. Please ask if you need advice on what to use. We do not recommend using cheap, generic Chinese mains transformers.
