Minimoog, Moog @ 30 August 2010, “No Comments”

“I’ve owned this vintage Minimoog (serial #7578) since late 1976 and am its second owner. In 1999, it was electronically refurbished and updated with the Lintronics MIDI retrofit by the best tech in the synth business, John “J.L.” Leimseider. Excerpt from www.lintronics.de/minimoog.html: “The Lintronics MIDI Converter (LMC) is a high-performance MIDI interface designed by Rudi Linhard to place the expressive potential of the Minimoog under MIDI control. The LMC uses state-of-the-art digital circuitry and software and includes an internal, programmable, wide-range, multi-waveform LFO that can be used in addition to, or in place of, the Minimoog’s LFO. Pitch, pitch bend, filter cutoff, loudness, modulation amount, and the internal LFO’s rate and depth can all be controlled through MIDI in real time and with high resolution. In addition, the Glide and Decay functions can be turned on and off through MIDI. The LMC circuitry is contained on a single circuit board installed inside the Minimoog, and uses its power supply.” Note that the Lintronics retrofit is for reception only, not transmission, and has no effect on the Minimoog’s standard operation.

This Minimoog has always lived in an entirely smoke-free environment. It was used in a few outdoor concerts under the sun, resulting in slight warping on the right side of the black plastic faceplate, and the bottom right corner has snapped off. There are minor scratches on either side of the wooden cabinet, but otherwise the Minimoog is in perfect working condition. It comes with Dr. Tom Rhea’s manual, documentation for the LMC retrofit, a 9′ S-trigger cable terminated with male ¼” TS and S-Trigger plugs at either end, and an ATA-rated Anvil case in which I’ve replaced the original, deteriorated innards with new polyethylene foam.

Bid now and win the auction and, along with two vintage 12″ x 5″ Moog stickers, I’ll include a brand new copy of the first edition of Vintage Synthesizers, not only featuring an outstanding article written about the Minimoog Model D by the late, great BOB MOOG himself, but also personally signed by the author SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU!” Link

“My brother is the original owner of this Mini Moog,serial # 12683, purchased around 1981. I bought it from him in 1992, and it has been safely stored for most of the past 18 years. It had a case at one time, which resulted in some foam from the case adhering to the back of the mini. (It can be seen up close in one of the pictures) It should be easily removed, but I didn’t want to risk scratching the wood or hurting the finish. There are the usual scratches and some discolorations of the finish in certain places, but overall I would consider the condition to be “good”.

The moog has not been serviced, but I plugged it in and played it today (8/25), and it sounds fantastic. I have used it over the past two years in my home studio, so it has been getting some good use. The oscillators are very stable, every function works. A few things to note: the waveform selector for oscillator 1 is missing the silver top on the knob, and the “Amount of Contour” knob is missing a small section, but it is not very noticeable. There is a slight crack in the pitch wheel, but it does not need to be replaced. A simple cleaning of the key contacts and pots would be recommended.” Link

“Der Klang des Minimoog ist Legende – kein Synthesizer kommt auch nur annähernd an den typischen Sound, für meine Ohren auch nicht der neue Minimoog Voyager. Dafür ist die Kombination der extrem warm und fett klingenden Oszillatoren, des 24 dB-Moog-Filters und der einzigartig schnellen Hüllkurven verantwortlich.

Beim hier angebotenen Exemplar handelt es sich um ein stimmstabiles Modell (SN: 11 xxx). Das Instrument ist somit technisch sehr gut in Schuss: Alle Tasten funktionieren ohne Jaulen, die Potis und Schalter arbeiten sauber und kratzen nicht. Am Holz sind ein paar kleine Gebrauchsspuren, aber nichts Schlimmes (siehe Fotos). Eine Kopie der original Bedienungsanleitung ist dabei. Das Instrument ist midifiziert und wurde darüber hinaus mit Buchsen für CV/Gate-in und -out sowie einem XLR-Output versehen. Das Power-Lämpchen sieht nicht original aus.

Noch das Übliche: Da es sich hier um einen Privatverkauf handelt, wird der Artikel unter Ausschluss jeglicher Sachmangelhaftung verkauft. Mit seinem Gebot erkennt der Bieter diese Regelung an. ” Link

“Zu verkaufen ist ein technisch und optisch gut erhaltener Minimoog mit einer frühen Seriennummer der Nummer 1602. Kenner wissen, dass die Minimoogs unterschiedlich klingen. Insbesondere den frühen Minimoogs sagt man einen kräftigeren und wärmeren Sound bedingt durch die ältere Version des Oszillatorboards nach.

Der hier angeboten Minimoog ist technisch wie optisch sehr gut erhalten. Sie können diesen vorab gerne in meinem Studio in Bochum testen.” Link

Great sounding synth- best out of the five I have owned over the years- stable oscillators- open and thick, not thin like some of the V3′s or dark.

“You are bidding on a vintage Model D Moog Minimoog synthesizer, serial number 11,770. I am the second owner and acquired this synth in 2004-2005. It has a rare optional accessory, the left hand pitch ribbon controller, and it works very well. The potentiometers sound great, and the emphasis pot in the filter section has been recently replaced – this is an exceptionally hard to find part. The pilot light and two of the fuse holders were also recently replaced. Most importantly, most of the old contact springs have been replaced, new bushings were installed, and the bus bars have been polished. The action is really sweet. It has the later more stable oscillator board with an additional category of trimpots for the oscillator callibration. The oscillators were tuned recently according to the procedure in the Minimoog manual.

The auction includes a flight case. The flight case needs refoaming as the existing foam is shedding. I will thoroughly wrap the minimoog in heavy bubble wrap to protect it from the shedding foam in the flight case, and use additional foam if necessary. Also the original manual is included and it is in poor condition though it is still readable – though you can find a pdf online. Also there is an additional few pages included about installing/callibrating the left hand controller – it’s a letter printed with Moog letterhead in 1979.

The previous/original owner installed an additional toggle switch that is visible on the left hand controller. It is wired to the Trigger/Gate input. This modification simply holds the gate open effectively holding the last note played indefinitely. I have found it useful when I want to process external audio through the VCF: I mix the oscillators out, and I can process the external audio without having to press a key to trigger the audio signal.

I am also including an S-Trig to 1/4″ cable that will be useful for you if you plan on connecting to midi-cv converters or other modules generating a gate trigger. Plus I am throwing in a fitted leather dust cover.

Disclosures:
The cosmetic condition of the wodden case is good, but there are some scratches as illustrated in the photographs. There are also some scratches on the left hand controller surface as illustrated in the photographs.

There is one somewhat esoteric glitch that is present in this synth. The 2nd key, low F#, has a bit of pitch bending/modulation that is present if the Decay switch is engaged – if you press/hold the key down and then release, the pitch of the aftertouch decay/release is slightly sharp from the press down note. Most of the key contact springs were replaced, but the low F# key spring appears somewhat deformed, and this may be the cause of the problem. It does not exhibit this problem when controlled externally, and it isn’t much of an issue for practical use.

I have posted several videos on YouTube to demonstrate this Mini in action. I’m a hack on the keys, so I applaud your patience if you make it through all of them. It’s important to note that I’ve transposed the actual pitch by a 5th – I kept the Midi-to-cv-trigger device hooked up during all the demos (even though #2 is the only one where I control via a midi device). The reason it’s transposed is because when you control via an external midi device it’s typical to sync the mini to the lowest note on the midi device. In my case the lowest note on the drum machine’s synth output was C – so if I’m hitting a low F on the mini keys it’s probably transposed to C. No worries though, I calibrated the oscillators and it scales well and plays in tune.” Link

“Minimoog board #2.
Features two (2) envelope generators, keyboard S/H and glide circuits.
This board is dated October 1979.

It is just over 30 years old, but is in such good condition, we can’t tell if it’s used or NOS.
It has extremely low wear or scratches on the gold-plated edgecard fingers.
This is from Moog’s later production and features silkscreened part designations the earlier boards didn’t have.” Link

“This is my Mini Moog Model D synth.

I am the 2nd owner of this Mini Moog Model D serial # 12655.

I purchased it in 1993 from the original owner

who didn’t use it. It is kept in my smoke free studio.

This Mini Moog sounds absolutely incredible in every way!

2 small things.

1. The G key stands higher than the rest.

It works fine just feels like it needs to be put in alignment.

2. Until the Moog warms up, at times the Low E will vary in pitch

from a lower B and beyond back to the original E. ” Link

“This is a very cool piece of history. As you can see in the pictures it is the “MuSonics” version from ’72. It’s in good shape and everything is in working condition. There are, however, a few cosmetic flaws. There is a ring in the wood on the top panel where it looks like someone set a drink down, the power light doesn’t light up and the previous owner etched his name in the back metal plate.This is a very vintage and USED unit so expect the usual wear. We assure you that our staff will pack and ship with care and your Moog will arrive in the same condition pictured.” Link

“This Mini Moog has been inside its Anvil case for over 10 years continuously keeping its well being in great condition. It still works great after 10 years, unfortunately I no longer have the luxury of being able to keep it. I can provide more pictures as well as video playbacks if desired. The Mini Moog will come with the Anvil case and anything else I can find that goes with it (I’m currently looking for the book I had with it).” Link

“This one is in excellent condition and working 100%. It has been serviced by Kevin Lightner and needs nothing. There are some small imperfections here and there, but check out the photos and judge the condition for yourself. As you can see, this is an early “muSonics” Minimoog (serial # 1256) which are rarely seen. I believe this one was made late in 1971. These early models are a bit different than those made later; Metal face with incremental graphics, walnut cabinet, squared back panel, clear pitch/mod wheels, no voltage selection like later units, older oscillator card (RA Moog stamp), and a few other things.
I kept the original “lamp style” power cord on it as it’s still in great shape and I wanted to keep this one as original as I could. This Minimoog will come with a newly foamed road case to help insure it’s condition.
Cosmetically- The original walnut cabinet and black bottom cover was restored by Analogics and as always Wes did a great job. Especially for a cabinet that’s nearly 40 years old. It has a new set of knobs (from the original company that supplied them early on), a new set of keys, a re-anodized back panel, new Switchcraft washers & nuts, many new screws throughout, and the fuse holder caps have been replaced.

Internally- Apart from any repairs, it has been disassembled and cleaned, new electrolytic capacitors (all boards/rectifier board, power supply), all jacks, switches, potentiometers, trims, modulation section connectors, and edge card connectors cleaned, inspected and resoldered PCB solder connections, tightened power transformer mounting, tightened heatsinks on power supply board, nuts tightened on all selector switches and pots. Keyboard disassembled, key contacts cleaned, bussbar polished, new key bushings (action feels great), keyboard leveled, and the synth has been fully calibrated.” Link

“This auction, sadly, is for a ’70s Minimoog “Model D” analog synthesizer made by Moog Music. I say sadly ‘cos I need the money to fix my shitty life and it’s just difficult to let go. As far as I know, I’m the third owner. The first being a Christian church of some kind. Can you imagine that in a service? Godly! The next owners were a band called \m/ The Angel Butchers \m/. How crazy is that? And finally I bought it from them and now here it is.

It comes with the original manual and an Input Ext S-Trig plug.” Link

” You are bidding on my 1974 Minimoog Model D, serial # 5479 and a custom pedalboard setup. This nice Moog is in great shape with no issues whatsoever. The keyboard was professionally rebuilt about a year ago with new bushings, so it plays like a brand new unit. All electronics work perfectly and sound great. In addition there is the custom pedalboard. The board has pedals for pitch bend, modulation, volume, and Delay hold. This frees up your left hand to play another synth while you play lead on the mini. It takes a little practice, but is really cool when mastered. Please note that the wah wah pedal pictured is NOT included. But that will leave an open space for any effect you would like to add yourself. There is a 9 Volt power cable running to that location on the board, so you can add your own wah pedal or echo, or any other 9 Volt powered effect box. Of course, the mini can be used without the pedal board and behaves normally. A “Null Plug” (pictured) is included which plugs into the pedalboard port for use without the Pedalboard. The moog also has the trigger mod (which I have not ever tried, it was there when I bought it). Also, the unit has the Oscillator sync mod, which allows you to sync oscillators 2 and 3 to oscillator 1. This is a great feature for live performance when you don’t have time to tune on stage. This is also great for some additional sounds if you set the oscillators to different octaves. This moog is really clean and as you can see the wooden case has an unusual amount of flame or tiger stripe in the wood. For some reason, the pictures exaggerated this, and it is not quite as dramatic as it appears in the photos. The pictures make the instrument look a little better than it actually is overall, still, it is the most amount of flame I have ever seen in an original Mini case. If you were to refinish it properly, you could make it really stunning. ” Link

(my mates model D did the same thing so he tells me ) 3. the pitch and mod wheels have developed slight cracks in the plastic which is normal for this type of wheel as I understand given their age . These imperfections do not to my eyes and ears effect the performance or visual aspect of the instrument.

“At the 2000 NAMM show I brought the top wood trim of this instrument to the Big Briar booth, where I met Dr. Moog and asked him to sign it. He was very gracious and broke into a big grin when he saw it, as of course he recognized right away what it was. In fact, he held it up for others to see, taking a bit of delight, I’m sure, in asking who else knew what this little wooden stick was! Since that day I have always treated this instrument as a reminder of the moment I got to meet the late, great grandfather of synthesizers and have cherished his signature on it as a direct link between his hands and the legendary instrument he created. Of all the Minis out there, how many have that distinction?” Link

“Up for sale is a Moog Minimoog Model D.

Serial Number 4921.

Dated June 1974.

Cosmetics: The Mini is complete and in excellent condition. The wooden case has seen better days, but the faceplate is fantastic as is the rest of it. I had half planned to get a new cabinet from Analogics at http://www.analogics.org/product.html but in the end decided that I like it the way nature intended. It feels like it could tell some stories. However, that may be something the new owner considers in the future. Analogics certainly make lovely cabinets.

Functionality: As I understand it, the previous owner bought the Mini as part of a studio sale in need of TLC. Roughly two and a half years ago, It was given to UK synth restoration king James Walker of Synth Repair Services where he worked his magic and restored it to a superb standard. You can see the before and after pics below. The keybed was re-set and re-bushed and some keys replaced, new knobs installed, the original plastic faceplate covering was still attached so James removed it – revealing a beautifully clean original faceplate, some work was undertaken to repair the pitch and mod wheel section and it was fully serviced. I have owned this Mini for a little over two years, it came straight from James and the restoration is fantastic. I have never had a problem. It’s a dream to play and, after a warm up, the tuning is spot on.

This is a voltage switchable model. Original osc. circuit board.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you have. If you want to have a chat over the phone about anything, please message me through ebay with your number and I’ll call you back.” Link

Der MAIN OUTPUT Schalter funktioniert tadellos trotz leichten Wackelkontakt.

Die restlichen Bedienelemente funktionieren einwandfrei.

Leider besitze ich kein Fachwissen für dieses Gerät. Ich habe es von meinem Onkel geerbt. Es steht bei mir nur rum und soll nun einen neuen Besitzer bekommen. Eine Generalüberholung durch einen Fachmann könnte das Gerät sicherlich wieder auf einen TOP-Zustand bringen.

THIS IS A 240 volt 50 hz device!

This is an auction for a nearly 40 year old classic synthesizer, the original Minimoog. This one was built in 1972. It is a working machine which has recorded and been studio based for the past 5 years. The metal rear cover is signed by synthesizer legend Rick Wakeman the synth was probably built while he was recording “Close To The Edge”- (photographic proof of signing provided)

The serial number is 2469, and the circuit board is the rich and creamy second revision. The tuning has been stabilised so that hassle free playing can be done after a 15 minute warm up. The S-Trig (CV) has been replaced by a 1/4 inch mono jack. The CV inputs have been modded to allow easier control using a Midi to CV converter. Way back in time the PITCH wheel was replaced by a genuine MOOG mini ribbon controller, making this machine somewhat rare. The Keyboard is the original. The case is in good condition, has been repolished and has a brand new Minimoog badge.

Problems: The occasional “loopy note” is liable with all the old Minimoog keyboard beds… and this one is no exception. I accept it as part of its charm. The lowest few notes on the keyboard are most susceptible. One of the keys has been repaired with a visible mend. This was probably around 25 years ago….” Link

“serial number 7239. Its not often that such a stunning example of this historic synth comes up for sale in the UK. This is one of the keyboards from my collection. I bought this from a well known and respected USA collector a number of years ago. As you can see from the pics there is not one blemish, ding or scratch. Even the metal back panel area is mint. When collecting synths i spent alot of time finding the best examples and this is one of them. Its in full working order. ALSO comes with the original Mini Moog Operation maual in great condition ” Link

“You are bidding on an original Model D minimoog analog synthesizer, not a voyager. in good working condition. This model serial number: #8779.

All the solid walnut on this one is original and in good condition with only cosmetic imperfections. The keyboard is clean, plays evenly, but has some marks and one key discoloration. The instrument has been serviced and stored in dry conditions, and has been a studio instrument rather than a gigging synthesizer. ” Link

“What you are bidding on is a SUPER 1970s, COMPLETELY ALL ORIGINAL, ONE OWNER MINIMOOG MODEL D with a STAR FLIGHT CASE that was purchased at the same time this fantastic instrument was purchased

It has a very early Serial number of 10694 that is embossed/stamped in the metal housing on the back and not a tag like later models, so you know this is a rare find.

Look closely and compare it’s cosmetic condition with others that may be listed. All the solid walnut on this one is original and in great condition.” Link

“Zur Auktion steht ein Moog Minimoog mit der Seriennummer 5897. Das Gerät ist in einem guten Zustand. Manche Tasten müssten noch gebleicht werden, habe dafür keine Zeit gehabt. Die sogenannten “bushings”, d.h die Gummis unter den Tasten sind erneuert worden.Die Tastatur spielt sich weich und flüssig.Das Gerät wurde in den 80er Jahren von Karsten D. Franke mit CV/Gate Inputs versehen,um es mit dem zur Auktion dazugehörigen Roland MPU 101 Midi-Interface zu betreiben.Zur Auktion gehört ebenfalls ein Moog-Controller-Pedal mit dem sich z.B der Filter des Moog steuern lässt.Dieses Pedal ist äußerst selten und in gutem Zustand.Ferner wird der Moog mit einem extra dafür angefertigtem Flightcase geliefert.
Das Pitch Rad funktioniert einwandfrei,das Modulationrad im Moment nicht.Vielleicht ein Wackelkontakt o.ä, sicher nichts gravierendes.Der Moog müsste mal wieder gestimmt werden.Dazu liefere ich eine Anleitung zum Selbermachen.Ebenfalls sind noch ein paar nagelneu Potis dabei,zum Austauschen,für die Zukunft.Es gibt noch viel mehr zu berichten,aber vielleicht stellst du mir eine gezielte Frage,wenn du noch mehr wissen möchtest.E-bay Gebühren zahle ich,Versand du.
For international Bidders:The Minimoog is in goog condition.A few keys need bleeching,the “bushings” underneath the keyboard have been replaced.Smooth action.The Moog has been modified by a well known german specialist to accept CV/Gate Signals from the Roland MPU 101 that is part of the auction.A Moog Controller Pedal comes with it to control various parameters like the filter.I have some new replacement knobs that i will send with the package.The Moog will be travelling in his own case,that you see on the pictures.” Link
