“For sale a Moog Realistic MG-1 analog synthesizer totally restored and modified to increase the power of this great synthesizer.
The MG-1 was manufactured by Moog under the brand Realistic and the Moog Rogue was just a rebuilding of this synth ( the schematics and components are almost the same ) but the MG-1 has some features that make it superior to the Moog Rogue. In comparison with the Moog Rogue the Moog Realistic MG-1 has a Ring Modulator, individual modulation rate for VCO and VCF , individual wave selector on VCO1 and VCO2, individual octave selector on VCO1 and VCO2 , polyphonic section.
The main features of this synth are :
* 2 VCO with Saw/Square wave ( VCO1) Saw / Pulse wave ( VCO2 ) and sync
* Noise Generator
* 1 VCF , 24 db/Oct Moog Ladder filter ,( can be used as Sine wave Oscillator with really good tracking)
* 1 AD/ASR envelope
* 1 LFO
* Ring Modulator
* Fully Polyphonic section
* Glide
These are some of the works that I made on this synth during the restoring / modifying process ::
* General cleaning inside and outside, keys….
* Cleaning the famous sticky foam
* All the sliders and switches have been changed for new ones
* The three potentiometers have been cleaned internally
* All knobs have been changed
* Take it off the old RCA connectors and changed them for Jacks 1/4″
* New Thermal Grease on the Tempcos and Power supply
* PCB cleaning
* The synth has been modified to increase the signal/noise ratio, now the synth has louder out ( without any distortion at maximum volume )
* Added Audio IN to the filter ( now you can filter external signals)
* Added Filter CV In to control the filter with external signals like ADSRs, LFOs from modular synths etc
* Added a Gate IN because it has S-trig IN , now you can use it with almost any Midi to CV converter and it’s more easy to control with all analog sequencers.
* New internal dust protection
* The synth has been re-calibrated
* The synth has been converted to European voltage ( 220V ) and comes with European plug.” Link
“If you own a Moog Polymoog Synthesizer or Moog Polymoog Keyboard, then you know what these cards are for.
These are from my Polymoog Keyboard, which I had been working to restore for months, but the synth has too many issues to sort out. This set of twelve Polycom cards, an entire octave’s worth, has been tested, and were playing just fine. I cannot guarantee how they will perform in your machine, since I was unable to totally sort out all the issues with my Polymoog. However, in every aspect that I was able to test them they performed very well. Also included in this listing is a working balance card.
This auction includes only the twelve Polycom cards and the balance card, and nothing else.” Link

“This is the most desired version of the Minimoog and very rare. It’s a metal face with clear dials. They have a thicker jucier sound than regular minimoogs, and absolutely blow the new ones out of the water. It’s in PERFECT condition and works flawlessly. Just cleaned by a tech. There are zero issues. This is a near museum piece. Local pickup and audition is welcomed. The metal sticker on the back is not completely there and does not show serial number. However, looking at the internal components, the serial number is around the 1300-1310 area.” Link
“This is a Concertmate MG-1 Analog Synthesizer.
Made by Moog Inc for Realistic Corp, it incorporates Moog’s patented chips & stable oscillator technology for those famous gutsy phat sounds of the MiniMoog & SonicSix .” Link
“First off, let’s make this absolutely clear:
THIS KEYBOARD DOES NOT WORK RIGHT AT ALL.
That said, details follow.
T LEAST the following problems exist. There are likely more
The sliders need replacing; the switches need replacing.
Most of them still largely work, but they are not reliable at all.
Many screws and one wooden end-piece are missing as well.
The tone generators all work, and at least one note divider is likely out
Divider problems typically cause a set of notes (all the C’s, for example)
to disappear; This is a common problem in poly-synths and organs.
1. It’s a great restoration project, as it still has life left in it.
It works enough that I keep it around hopefully for restoration (but my Farfisa Organs and other Moogs keep me quite busy enough, thank you).
2. It’s still an excellent noise-music generator, because the classic Moog filter works 100%. This thing still produces gut-wrenching lows, and a mere flick of a slider sends it into painful screeching, ear ringing highs. BTW, I am not responsible for the hearing damage these models can cause, and I am not joking AT ALL.
3. Parts, of course!
4. This is an EXCELLENT candidate for (careful) AC circuit bending. It can kill you, though, because most circuit bending is done using DC ( battery-powered) devices. Still, it can easily be altered for use as a stand-alone Moog filter, for example, and most of the keys still work.
——————————–
Seriously, I like these keyboards a lot, and I always have. But, sadly, I have too many corpses and projects to keep it around;
I want desperately to fix my Moog Concertmate MG-1, and I can get the parts I need by selling this one.
It could live with surgery, but euthanasia and organ donation are definitely options.
WARNING: If my other keyboards were in a hospital room next to this, I would seriously be
concerned about staff infection or maybe flesh-eating virus. In fact, I am!
SOLD AS-IS, of course.
There will be no returns, of course, as I have listed it’s extensive problems.” Link

-Notable features include: Portamento, Very capable midi interface, Easy programming interface, Famous look and analog sound, 128 Patch storage capacity!!!!
-Includes Power Cable (as shown in pictures)
This is an excellent conditioned Juno 106 in completely functioning order. Cosmetically this thing is very clean and near perfect. There is a scratch on the right side on the faceplate (as seen in pics below). Functionally there is nothing of any major concern wrong with this synth. All voices work. The bender bar was recently repaired and works fantastically. The only notable features with the functionality of this unit are that some of the buttons need to be pushed a little harder than others. This is not a big deal and I assure you that the buttons all engage and function. The only other thing worth mentioning is that the knob for the portamento feature is a little harder to turn than the volume knob, but it turns the full range and functions (it just has a little more resistance than the volume knob). If you want a great conditioned, fully functioning Juno 106, this is it!!” Link

“Up for auction is a Roland SH-5 synthesizer in perfect functioning condition, and near mint physical condition. This is, in my opinion, the best monosynth Roland ever made. Peter Forrest agrees in his A-Z of Vintage Synths and calls this one “a real cracker”. The bandpass filter rivals the Oberheim SEM and the modulation options make it truly a modular synthesizer. You can switch in and out various LFO’s along the signal path and it’s one of the few synths with both white AND pink noise. A really wonderful synth and I’m kicking myself that I have to sell it. I’m only selling to pay some bills.” Link
“You may be wondering, what is version 6 software, so I will explain. Back around 1984 when the Jupiter 6 was made, it was one of the very first synthesizers to implement the MIDI protocol. It only transmitted and received on two channels; channel 1 was the upper voice (upper half of the keyboard) and channel 2 carried the lower voice ( lower half of the keyboard). In December of 1984 Roland offered a software upgrade to Jupiter 6 owners, Version 6, that installed a new PROM chip on the CPU board. This upgrade made it possible to now transmit and receive on any of the 16 MIDI channels. By holding down the tune button you assign a MIDI channel by pressing the bank button ( A or B ) and the number button (1 to 8 ). So for instance A-4 is channel 4 and B-8 is channel 16. (It’s real easy to do by the way!). The Lower Voice will always be the “base” channel you assigned plus 1, so if you selected channel 4 with the tune button procedure, the Upper Voice will be channel 4 and the Lower Voice will be 4 + 1 = 5 . In this fashion you can have the Jupiter 6 send and receive on any MIDI channel.
I am the second owner of his great synthesizer. I purchased it from ED SCHAEFFER of the Keyboard Exchange in Denver on 8/25 /1986. It was shortly after this I had the new ver. 6 software professionally installed, as I determined that it would be useful in the music I was creating at that time. I have played several other Jupiter 6’s since, and none of them had this upgrade. I beleive that it is a pretty rare and not too well known item in the world of the JP-6.
Anyway, now that I’ve explained the upgrade, let’s get on with the description of this particular instrument. I’m going to assume that if your reading this you are already familiar with the specs, you can do your own research through Google or Yahoo.
It has never been gigged (by me) but was used for many hours by me over the years for fun and music creation up untill about 4 years ago when I started using mostly software synths.
The pictures I have included should tell most of the story. The front panel has some scuffing here and there. The worst of these is near the top of the B and C keys in the last octave of the keyboard which you can just make out in the pictures. It’s not a dent, just a scuff. There are a few other very minor scuffs that are so small and insignificant that they don’t show up in the pictures. There are, as I mentioned no dents anywhere on the synth. The sides, back and bottom are near perfect. I did sign and date the bottom with a permanent ink pen as was my practice at that time with all my gear. Sorry about that, but I wanted some way to identify it in case it was lost or stollen. Other than than that, it is in remarkable condition for it’s age.
As far as functionality it is perfect. All functions work as ther supposed to and the synth sounds great. I tested it during the picture taking session and it brought back many memories of the times I have spent with it in the past. The manual control section is in fully working (Bender, LFO button ect.) The keyboard is near perfect, no chips or cracks. When testing it, some notes required several attempts to generate sound but this went away after repeated striking. The new owner would probably get the key contacts cleaned, or more cheaply, just play the hell out of it and it will be fine. It’s been leaning against my bedroom wall with hefty bag over it for a long time, so it is normal that some keys required several hits to start sounding again, as anyone with knowledge of these matters could tell you.” Link
“Used but in perfect working condition. I’ve cleaned it up for you as pictured so it looks its best. Original strap, manual, packing materials and box are included. I used to play this with a wireless MIDI kit and had a blast, but these days I stay behind the boards, so I decided to sell it. Great fun. These are discontinued now and gradually getting harder to find.” Link

“This listing is for a Roland JP-8 Jupiter 8 vintage analog synthesizer (Serial# 60306)! The synth is 100% functional and was just fully serviced. Everything is working great and aside from some blemishes I would still say it’s in nice cosmetic shape. Most notably there were 2 holes where switches were added for a JL Cooper memory expansion to be able to switch between the banks. The memory expansion no longer worked so the switches were taken out and the holes were plugged. Check the pics. Other than typical surface marks it still looks pretty good and more importantly works and plays great. This is a REV A that had the DCB added later.” Link

“5 Day Auction for a Red KORG RK 100, genuine original vintage 80’s instrument !
This is your chance to get your hands on an authentic 1980s vintage Red painted wooden ‘Keytar’ / ‘Remote Keyboard.’ I believe they have started making similar instruments to these again as they are in fashion, however this is the genuine original article!
It has 41 keys (3 octaves and a bit), but also has an octave switch which allows you to have High, Medium or Low octave – so this creates a massive range but in a good sized instrument to hold!
It also has volume and bend vertical wheels.
It is midi so you link it up to any sound module / synthisizer, etc – or to your standard keyboard. So you can use the most up to date sounds, or whatever sounds you want.
There are also 8 square buttons along the top and a shift button, to allow to you program in the sounds you want and access them quickly.
The instrument is in a used condition so there is damage here and there as you’d expect for its age. The features work ok and it can still knock out a good tune. I have tried to photograph most of the damage the best I can.
The keyboard also comes with a red strap.
It requires a 9v dc power adaptor or batteries. (not supplied” Link
“This vintage beauty is very clean and in awesome shape functionally. It stays in tune very well and has no scratchiness or weak key contact. I actually really hate to see this one go , but circumstantially it doesn’t make sense for me to keep it. I think the filter is the best ever made! It comes with the original three black patch cords. I have baby’d it for the entire time I have owned it. I think it’s been 3 years now. Just know that it will be packed with care and will arrive safely. Oh, and it does have the momentary button.” Link

“Much sought after Yamaha SHS-200 keytar. This is the larger, pro version of Yamaha’s keytar range – the smaller SHS-10 was OK, but this model rocks with more keys, more sounds, and a better all-round playing experience.
You see very few of these on eBay. I’m selling mine reluctantly as I have moved on to a Roland keytar instead.
This is a very well looked after instrument with the original Yamaha strap, the original box and power supply.
The SHS-200 comes with onboard FM sounds, or you can hook it up to another module via MIDI (this is what I mainly used it for). It runs off 6 batterys, or mains if you want.
In excellent condition. All keys, buttons, knobs work. Important: IT HAS A BATTERY COVER. Many instruments you’ll find have the cover missing. All sounds work. It’s not received very much use – been on stage a couple of times only. No yellowing of the plastic finish. Nice bright LED display.

“Vintage late 70s Yamaha CS-50 synth. In very good condition for it‘s age. Perfect working order only issue it’s missing three plastic lever covers but it works great. The CS-50 has a lot of the great features Yamaha pioneered such as the unique Ring Mod effect and aftertouch (monophonic in the case of the CS-50). An absolutely wonderful keyboard action – I actually prefer it to the CS-80s, or the Pratt-Read certainly. VERY cool analog sounds. I’m not an expert, but this synth seems to do everything it supposed to do to my knowledge. Add some sustain, portamento, and you can get some very big sounds out of it. I have no use for this synth, it sits in the studio taking up space hopefully somebody can put it to good use there are not very many of these around so don’t let this one get away.” Link
“For sale, Yamaha CS-30L, analog monophonic synthesizer. In very good condition overall for its age, however there are some very minor nicks and scratches on it.

Any computer cable will do the job. The synth works on 100v so you will need a transformer to use it in countries with 220~240. It is a wonderful instrument for researching analog textures that just modulars can do.” Link
“This item is being re-listed as the winning bidder was unable to complete the transaction. Up for auction is a Vintage Yamaha CS-15 Synthesizer. It is in 100% Fully Functional Operational condition. No noisy pots, switches, sliders or jacks. Cosmetically, it is in very good condition, perhaps an 8 out of 10. There is one small blemish near the Portamento slider, which appears to be a small burn, hardly noticable. ( See Photo ) The original case is also in very good condition with just a few small scuffs. The handle, hinges and latches are all intact and functioning. The Blue Velvet interior is near immaculate. ( When have you ever seen one of these in their original case ? )
Included is the owners manual, in a binder, with each sheet in protective plastic. Also included are all service diagrams, with large ( 11 X 17 ) diagrams of circuit boards, IC chips and components. Also included is some rare original sales/promotional material. This outstanding CS-15 has a three-prong power cord, and is rated at 120V, U.S., so no power converter is needed !
The Yamaha CS-15 is equipped with 2 complete VCO’s, VCF’s, VCA’s, and EG’s. In theory, it is two separate monophonic, or “duophonic” systems. There are also many sound source routing possibilities, which lends a semi-modular approach to sound synthesis. Please check out the reviews at harmony central or vintage synths for a more comprehensive understanding of it’s operational capabilities.” Link

Has some amazing stereo capabilities and has assignable velocity and pressure modulation, which I’ve never seen on any other synth! This is in excellent condition, fully functional. Cosmetically it looks great, a few scruffs here and there, but front is very clean and looks nowhere near its age.

Even the earlier venerable prophets couldn’t do that! 6 stacked voices prgrammed any way you want it, on board sequencer and arp, responds to midi CC’s for all functions (integrates well with modern equipment/computer). Really an incredible synth for the money! Everything works great, a few nicks and scratches in the wood but otherwise in really great shape!” Link
“rophet 5 Rev 2 With Kenton Midi Kit
And Factory Cassette modification
Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Revision 2.
This is the version of the Prophet which is most sort after for its SSM chips as apposed to the later Revision 3 models which used CEM chips. You can read up on hours of on-line testimonial as to what the differences are but many agree that the main difference is the rev 2 sounds much better but if your searching for a rev 2 then you most likely know that already.
So apart from the brilliant sound what else is there?
It has the version 7 software Eproms which has a more advanced tuning routine than in previous versions and I believe this was the last eprom version for the Rev 2 before moving on the the rev 3s.
The Last owner had this from the mid 90s and he had bought it from the Z studios in California. Now I haven’t contacted them to see if they keep records of old inventory but if thats the case this may well have been Frank Zappa’s Prophet 5. Like I say I haven’t investigated this further and it wasn’t the reason I bought it in the first place but may well be worth checking out for any Zapper fans out there.
Well the Kenton MIDI kit is considered the best going for this synth. You can now have your 1979 Prophet receive velocity and after touch messages and even program what available parameters are effected by them. Also Filter cutoff and resonance are controllable by midi CC numbers 16 – 17 also midi volume is available.
Also is has the Sequential Circuits factory cassette modification so you can back up all your patches and load new ones. I have a cassette with the original factory patches on.
Recording of the memory as audio to a hard disk is can be done in just the same way as with a tape.” Link
