I pluged the unit in and it powers up and works fine as far as i can tell..Some of the sounds crackle when i hit a key but i think that its a dirty pot because if i play with the pots the sound will come back in and clean.Im not 100% sure.The slide on the pitch left was replace with a pot but works fine.There are a few screws on the bottom missing and some of the vernier on one side is missing.Other than that it is solid.I tried to describe this so there are no suprises.” Link

This vintage monophonic analog synthesizer works perfectly! Very few signs of wear–see photographs. Features Oscillator, Modulation, Noise Level, Glide, Volume, Filter, Filter Contour and Loudness Contour controls, plus 32-key keyboard. Sounds great!” Link

I recently paid $300 for a professional Moog synthesizer tech to revamp, and clean the Moog (it still has all the original parts minus a replaced volume knob). It works better than the day I bought it with no drift whatsoever.

It is a surprisingly complex synth for only being a single oscillator/ LPF model.

These are highly sought after by collectors of vintage synthesizers, and it is rare to find one where all the processor sections are functional. This is a monophonic synth. Also, you can directly plug in another keyboard or guitar and use all the filters, contours, and modulator as effects. ” Link

SERIAL #3097

I would say this keyboard is in excellent shape (Not Mint) considering it is over 30 years old and the following:

This synthesizer is EXTREMELY CLEAN AND RADIANTLY BEAUTIFUL and is…

Fully intact… And has no missing parts…

The unit powers on and the red light showing the unit is on lights brightly…

All 32 notes of the keyboard sound so their are no dead keys and no keys are broken…

As far as I can tell all the knobs and switches are functional…

The modulation wheel and ribbon controller are present and working…

The original power cord is clean and there are no breaks whatsoever in the cord…

The simulated wood side panels are also in excellent shape…

And… the tuning knob on the back which controls the tuning is working and the tuning is stable.

I played it for countless hours through my pa system and I can tell you it sounds great!!! But be sure to put your jack in to the audio input on the back for great LOUD sound. You will definitely be heard!!! As a BONUS I’m throwing in an instrument patch cord so you can hook it right up to your amp or pa.

I never gigged with this synth as it was part of my studio rig.” Link

It’s a scaled down mini, but with further mods..making it pretty sweet. It’s really light to carry and it stays in tune better.

it can sound as smooth as a minimoog but with a flip of a switch it can sound as mean as a future retro 777.

No scratchy knobs, No dents, no dings, no blems.
Recently serviced with new IC for the envelope contour section. A full cleaning and calibration.
All audio inputs and outputs on the back work. All control Voltage inputs and outputs work.
Studio kept, never gigged with.
Note: the only reason why it’s not mint is that the octave knob and mod routing knob wiggle a bit and feel loose. however they Functions perfectly. ” Link

Schweren Herzens und sehr ungerne trenne ich mich von meinem geliebten Micromoog.Gehe davon aus, dass der Käufer weiß, um welch seltenen Schatz es sich hierbei handelt.
Kurzinfo: Es handelt sich um einen reinen Analogsynthesizer mit dem legendären Moog Klang. Oszilator (Wellenform stufenlos verstellbar) und Filter sind nach wie vor unerreicht. Der Synthie lässt sich auch extern über CV/Gate ansteuern und hervorragend in ein modernes MIDI-System integrieren.
Ausreichende Infos und Klangbeispiele findet man problemlos im Netz.
Zustand:
Optisch: Für sein Alter noch recht gut. Natürlich nicht neuwertig. Siehe Fotos.
Technisch: Alle Funktionen nochmal durchgetestet. Kein Kratzen etc. Lediglich bei der ganz rechten Taste muss man etwas stärker draufdrücken.” Link

The Micromoog is guaranteed to be in perfect working order when you receive it. ” Link

As I said, this unit works perfectly. I cannot, however, test the Moog’s “Open System,” which apparently is sort of like MIDI control for Moogs of this era. I don’t have a way to test this, so I can’t guarantee it will work if you’re looking to sync up a few or several of these for some reason (I doubt it is a function that gets used anyway). ” Link

Item Condition: The item(s) is used and being sold as-is. From what we found online, all were built between 1975 – 1979, so it is at least 30 years old, and it show’s its age. Some of the screws that hold the bottom panel on are missing.

How we tested this unit and the results:

Unit powers on
Audio output works when hooked up to a speaker and keys are pressed
We do not know what it is “supposed” to sound like, so we can not say if it is “working as it should”. We believe that it is not fully functional, because with the switches and knobs set to certain settings, no audio was produced. There was not a wide range in audio output no matter what keys we pressed/switch settings. We are hiding nothing, but it is sold as is.

Serial Number: 2541 (we believe, according to the hand-written serial number tag).” Link

Synth is in used condition but I don’t know much about these and I have tested it only to the best of my capabilities.
I would say for all parties to be happy just consider that maintenance will need to be preformed once received.

When I hooked it up I was able to get sound out and fully manipulate the oscilation and modulation.

The Pitch bar was fully functional.
But what I couldn’t do is make the sound stop coming out and play it like a piano. Maybe it’s my lack of knowledge, I don’t know.

All the keys are nice and lined up and all the springs are nice and tight. The lowest key however did not change the octave of the note.
Also there is one white switch cover that is missing. The switch is there and functions fine.

Mood also comes with service and field manuals.” Link

The only real negatives are the typical wear of a 30+ year old synth and a spot of wear on the ribbon controller, very common to all Moogs that have them. The bottom also has a decent amount of wear, but that isn’t a big deal for most folks. One or two of the keys might also stand to be re-bushed at some point, but all work fine. And most importantly – everything works very well – warms up fast, stays in tune, sounds great. The Micromoog is probably the most versatile single-oscillator synth out there. I owned a Roland SH-101 for a while and you can get a much wider range of sounds and tones out of the Micromoog. I hate to sell it, but sometimes you just have to move on.”

All original parts. I’m the second owner. Had it since 1980. It’s been in my basement, in a box, cool and dry, for the last 20 years. It’s time to admit that I’m not going to play it again, so I should let someone else have the pleasure.

When I got it out and plugged it into my guitar amp, it sounds like nothing has changed. All the keys play fine, all knobs and switches sound great. I opened it to check the wiring and all looked good (though I’m not an expert on this).

Now I want to emphasize that this is not in mint condition. I didn’t tour with it, but I did play local gigs. It has some minor scuffs (see pictures). I got it as a teenager and loved it for five years, played in on and off for another five, then stored it for twenty. Now it is an awesome piece of history. So please look carefully at the photos to see what you are bidding on.” Link

Good Condition

Ribbon controller works

Missing two knobs

Recently serviced by a great tech:” Link

It has been well maintained and all parts work well and are super clean. Great product!

Will ship anywhere in the United States or Worldwide for extra fee.

Type: Mircomoog Synthesizer
Number of Keys: 32
Power Supply: Plug-in” Link

SOLD AS IS NO RETURNS READ CAREFULLY

This keyboard needs fixing up.

All of the knobs and switches work except-

You have to jiggle the oscillator switch a little.(maybe dirt between the connections).
The octave knob wiggles but it is still fully functional.
The modulation wheel stopped working. I was going to fix it but I decided to sell it instead. I am going digital
The pitch bend stopped working. (I fixed it once before)
Some of the keys need some fixing. Most of them work.(See photos)
It seems that the main circuit board is working
I lost all the screws that hold it together. (They on sale here on Ebay)” Link

SERIAL # 7562- IN GREAT SHAPE

AND **BONUS** – IT COMES WITH AN OPERATORS MANUAL, A RARITY IN ITSELF!!!

THESE SYNTHS ARE FAT AND FREAKY ** ANALOG MONSTERS .

DIAL CONTROLS ARE SMOOTH SOUNDING AND NOT SCRATCHY.

THE SWITCHES ARE QUIET. THE KEYBOARD CONTACTS WERE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED A WHILE AGO.

IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS LIKE NEW.

COSMETICALLY, THE SIDE PANELS HAVE A COUPLE DINGS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES BUT AREN’T REALLY THAT NOTICEABLE DESPITE PICS .

SOME OF THE LITTLE WHITE ARROWS ON THE DIAL CONTROLS HAVE SOME WEAR.

THE LITTLE BLACK KEY HAS A SMALL MELT MARK ON IT.

THE COVERS ON THE MANUAL ARE IN FAIR CONDITION. ONE OF THE BLANK KEYBOARD CHARTS WERE CUT OUT, BUT THERE ARE MORE OF THEM.

THE INSIDE OF THE MANUAL IS IN GOOD CONDITION.

I FOUND THE MANUAL ESSENTIAL , FOR GETTING THE MOST OUT OF THIS SYNTH.

IT CONTAINS SOUND CHARTS, TECHNICAL, SCHEMATICS, COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER SYNTHS, AND OTHER FUNCTIONS LIKE FAT MOOG, MOOG WHISTLE, MOOG BASS, JET, RING MOD EFFECTS, OSC SOURCED SOUNDS, AND MORE.

EVEN HOW TO PLAY A GUITAR OR ANY AUDIO SOURCE TO BE PROCESSED THROUGH THE MICROMOOG.

A GREAT CLASSIC SYNTH IN GREAT CONDITION FROM MOOG****!!!!!!!!

NOTE::: I HAVE KEPT THIS MACHINE FOR YEARS IN A SMOKE FREE AND PET FREE ENVIRONMENT” Link

…amazing.

Anyway, the synth is in good condition cosmetically. The only notable blemishes are on the logo plate on the back, which you can see in the pictures.

I will also include a padded road-case.

This synthesizer is extremely underrated. While it only has one oscillator, this is easily compensated for by the doubling function (which adds some sub-octaves to your sound, adding that moog fatness.) Also, it has good modulation capabilities, filter mod. by osc. function, and open system inputs and outputs, all of which make this thing a super versatile synth whether you need fat basslines, noise drones, or spacey effects.” Link

How cute! A tiny Moog, but don’t underestimate it. Sure, it’s just a single-oscillator monophonic synth, designed as a solo performance Moog. But it’s an not so expensive alternative to the Minimoog. In fact, it is often used as just a stand-alone filter processor since it has a filter that is virtually identical to the Mini, and accepts external sounds for processing through it! It also employs a ribbon controller (which was a cool new feature) for pitch bending. Notice that there are still plenty of knobs to give you access to the shape of your sounds! anyone who’s had one of these will know its a powerful synth, more modern achitecture and routing than the mini and equally funky-even with just one osc+doubler. the external audio feed brings out unheard of filtration. this played back to back against a modern4osc synth just took the party recently with its fatness and richness and downright dirtiness. One plastic knob is missing and have one downside metal band glued, but is working as it should, modulation freq knob may need little cleaning comes and goes when you turn it very usual thing on vintage old classic synths like this, but still works you just need be patient and use it a little bit, its been sitting around for years. Please check the pictures. Good cosmetic condition (still have some small flaws, dents, scars, marks and scratches due time and use and on the bottom some screws are missing, ) Includes power cable.” Link

There is nothing like the genuine vintage Moog filter that “fat” sound.

This Moog is in good clean shape, however it is missing one white switch cover (See Pic). The switch is still there and is fully functional. There is also a screw missing to the keyboard bracket, therefore the keyboard is a little loose.

This Micromoog has been tested and seems fully functional including keyboard, but since I am not in the music business this item is being sold As-Is.

Moog comes with:

Operations manual,

Wiring schematics,

and Technical Service manual.” Link

The Moog Micromoog is a very powerful, vintage analog synthesizer with really flexible sound sculpting capabilities.

It has truly been the Swiss Army knife of my studio. There is nothing like the genuine vintage Moog filter and “fat” sound.

You can see and hear the very Micromoog I am selling in this auction in my youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/user/TomThayer#p/a/u/0/dQSLV1Wual0

I made a video of it so you can see that it is functional and also so you can hear how beautiful and rich this particular Micromoog sounds. I have owned three Micromoogs over the years and I always held on to this one because I always though it had the juiciest, most alive sound. It is an earlier one from 75 or 76, perhaps that has something to do with it.

As you can see and hear from the images and video, it is in good physical shape for being 36 or so years old and it sounds awesome!

When I first got it, around eleven years ago, some of the key bushings were going and the J-wires were showing their age, so I bought a new-old-stock Micromoog keyboard on ebay (it was still in the plastic shrink wrap!) and had the keyboard replaced. What a joy to have an original, but new condition keyboard on this Micromoog.

The Pitch ribbon on this Micromoog works great too, which is rare!

One slider cap is missing and the Bypass slider switch was replaced by a previous owner at some point and is now scratchy. You have to finesse it into a good spot. The other switches and knobs work well.

I am a visual artist, not a musician. I used the Micromoog to make sound effects and experimental songs for films and animations. If you are going to use the Micromoog to make traditional music, you might need to reference the instruction manual and follow the instructions on tuning. Perhaps you can tell from watching the video if it is in tune or not.

There are lots of great things about the Micromoog, but one of the coolest it that it has an audio input and you can run sound into it to be processed by the Moog filter!

Included in this auction are:

-The Moog Micromoog

-A really nice, spiral bound Micromoog instruction manual

-And a pair of special male and female Cinch Jones to 1/4″ cables for the Moog that you will need to trigger the Micromoog from another analog synth or an analog sequencer or to use the Micromoog’s Keyboard to trigger another synth.

I have absolutely loved this synth and now it is time for it to go out and have more adventures, I know you will love it too.” Link

This was purchased recently in partially working order and just went through an extensive and total overhaul on my tech bench:

* All pots & switches thouroughly cleaned and lubricated
* Keyboard completely cleaned and rebuilt with new bushings
* Defective IC’s, caps, transistors replaced (S/H circuit, output, and Mod Matrix circuits)
* Re-calibrated and tuned
* All interface ins/outs tested per service manual specs
* All surfaces inside and out cleaned up from 35 years of grime and bugs

This is a very fine MicroMoog in used yet attractive condition, worthy of any studio or stage use. Very stable and reliable operation now.” Link

Includes power cable.” Link

Also please, please keep in mind this is 31 year old keyboard. Everything as far I know works however I have nothing to bench mark it with so please understand what you are getting into before you bid. Its not going to work like a modern synthesizers” Link
