“Dieser wunderschöne Minimoog mit der Seriennummer 10753 stammt aus der Zeit 1977 / 78. Da er ausschließlich in meinem Studio benutzt wurde, also kein Leben “on the road” verbrachte und stets gehegt und gepflegt wurde, ist er in Topzustand. Er gehört zur Generation der stimmstabilsten Minimoogs (ab Seriennr.10175), was man sehr bald dankend zur Kenntnis nimmt. Über Stunden bleibt die Stimmung erhalten – perfekt! Die volle Soundentfaltung ist nach der gewohnten Aufwärmzeit dieser Geräte nach ca. 15-20 Minuten erreicht. Überhaupt – in Sachen Klang stellt der Minimoog die absolute Referenz dar. An solch einem kraftvollen, satten Sound, besonders im Bassbereich aufgrund seines legendären Tiefpassfilters, müssen sich bis heute alle anderen Synthies messen lassen. Auch wenn man der stimmstabilen Serie hier und da nachsagt, sie klänge nicht ganz so fett wie die ganz frühen Modelle, ist dies wohl eine der Diskusionen, die noch in hundert Jahren geführt wird. Mit Kollegen habe ich seinerzeit oftmals Vergleiche angestellt, doch keiner hat je einen wirklichen Klangunterschied festgestellt. Aber – man weiss ja wie das ist, jeder hört halt anders oder sucht das berühmte Haar in der Suppe.

Optisch ist dieses Gerät wie neu. Keinerlei Kratzer oder anderweitige Beschädigungen am Holz (siehe Fotos), keine altersbedingten Risse in der Tastatur. Was die Holzfarbe betrifft, hat er einen schönen warmen, mittelbraunen Farbton, ist nicht diese grauenhafte Mahagoniausführung wie sie meistens vorkommt – wobei das natürlich alles Geschmacksache ist.

Da mein Mini längere Zeit nicht benutzt wurde, habe ich ihn selbstverständlich komplett überholen lassen. Alle Tastenkontakte wurden gereinigt, also kein Abschmieren der Töne beim Anschlag sowie alle Bushings durch Originale ersetzt. Nach jetzt 32 Jahren eine Maßnahme, die einem neuen Besitzer sicherlich wieder für die gleiche Zeit eine reibungslose Funktion der Tasten garantiert. Ansonsten sind alle Bauteile noch im Originalzustand und arbeiten tadellos – auch die verkapselten Potis. Lediglich ein minimales Knistern an einem, war nach ein paar Knopfdrehungen definitiv verschwunden. Mein Modell ist wahlweise für 110V / 220V ausgelegt.

Da dieses Prachtstück bei mir kaum noch zum Einsatz kommt, würde ich mir wünschen, dass es bei einem Kenner ein neues Zuhause fände und diesem zukünftig viel Freude bereitet.

Der Versand erfolgt mit DHL (versichert!), was aus Kostengründen sicherlich auch in Eurem Interesse ist. Bei Versand ins Ausland, bitte Preis anfragen. ” Link

“MOOG MINIMOOG MODEL D

As you can see from the photos and youtube video link! This baby is in great condition! Everything is working and i have just tuned it. The only mod done to this Mini is the master tuning pot and the tuning pots for oscillators 2 and 3 have all been upgraded to 10x pots! this means each pot turns 10 times to make one complete turn, This gives much finer control of the tuning and helps with stability without effecting the sound. Some people have made the mistake of modifying the minimoog to have perfect tuning then wonder why its lost its great fat sound!! cosmetic condition is very good with only a few minor marks on the wood, and one very small mark on one of the keys. this was triggered via a Kenton Pro 2000 midi to CV converter and therefore has minimal wear on the keyboard.” Link

“This was given to me as a gift around 1981/82. It is not a show piece but seems to work and sound fine. I will try to describe it as completely as possible and I have included many pics of the keyboard. I am very hesitant about selling this but I really haven’t used it all those years. I just recently put it in my studio and began to play it. I truly hope I don’t regret selling it.

Here are the details of this Minimoog:

* The original keyboard and cabinet were replaced. I still have the originals which I will also be selling. The original keyboard was in need of repair and I came across a cabinet and keyboard on eBay a couple years ago and switched the keyboard and cabinet.
* The wood on the original cabinet is better but needs re-finished.
* The wood on the one being sold has some dings, scratches, and some cracks on the left side toward the back (see pics).
* The Mod and Pitch wheels and Glide and Decay section is not the original. I do have the original which has some paint over-spray on it – that’s why I switched them.
* The serial number is not embossed on the back like I have seen on some models – it is on a Moog Music tag on the bottom of the electronics housing. It may have been serviced but I’m not sure. On the inside there is writing in a couple of places that list the serial number and some dates of 8/22/74.
* The power cord is frayed at about where it enters the unit (see pics).
* The power light flickers instead of on steady.
* Some of the controls are scratchy but not too bad – normal for something this old and not played.
* There is some paint over-spray on part of the face but not too much (see pics).
* There is some blue spray paint on the back and right side of the electronics cover (see pics).

It does sound very nice like old Mini’s do.

Also included in the auction is a copy of the operations manual.” Link

“HERE WE HAVE A MINIMOOG FROM MY COLLECTION THIS MODEL D IS SPECIAL IT HAS THE RARE EYE KNOBS
FOR THE WAVE SELECTOR AND THE OCTAVE RANGE This mini is good condition cosmecticly she is a 8 out of 10 functional it is 100%
The mini is from 1974 it is an early osc board version there is an extra knob and hole on the face but It has no function there is also another hole where there was a knob that I removed years ago but NO modifications where done to this mini. I would like to express the sound of this unit I have to say it is Richer more lush and more powerful then other mini’s I own I have a later serial number mini from the same year and this one to me sounds bigger and more potent. This happens with the mini moogs some can sound slightly different then others not trying to hype this up but the mini is a beast . The only reason I don’t keep this one is because my first mini has sentimental value .
All functions work properly I had the key bushings replaced and had a calibration done
I have service records for this a copy of the manual will be included . this is an expensive item so shipping will be 3 days I will not declare lower value the mini will be insured and professional packed at buyers expense” Link

“This is an oscillator board for a Moog model MiniMoog. It appears to be in good condition with all it’s parts. This is the board that I had listed previously with a trim pot missing but I did find a trim pot for it. The solder side appears to be in very good condition. I DO NOT guarantee or take back user installable parts. It was kindly pointed out to me that this board is missing the 3 thermisters and the 3 FET’s. I will be trying to locate them in hopes of including them with the sale. This is my very last board. I did locate 3 FET’s 1 used original type and 2 unused metal can type which I will include but not install.

PART# as it appears on the solder side: Min. Bd. 1 Osc 91-113 G” Link

“in sehr gutem Zustand es handelt sich um das Model 204E!” 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

“The one that needs no introduction, Late 1970’s Minimoog Ta Da. Serial Number: 127XX, this is really the Cats meow. As a tool, an investment piece, A studio piece or for performance, nothing matches the Minimoog. It is considered the first and all the rest were and are measured by it. This one sounds just great too. Comes with the Original Owners Manual this is a very useful thing to have. It has some Vintage settings included in it, so cool!” Link

“UP FOR YOUR BIDDING CONSIDERATION IS A SUPER RARE BLAST FROM THE PAST VINTAGE MOOG MINIMOOG MODEL D PORTABLE SYNTHESIZER.

CHECK OUT “YOUTUBE” FOR THE SOUND THAT COMES FROM THIS AWESOME VINTAGE INSTRUMENT.

THIS UNIT IS CONSIDERED THE VERY FIRST SYNTHESIZER FOR MUSICIANS, COMPACT AND SIMPLIFIED SO IT BECAME THE MOST POPULAR SYNTHESIZER OF ALL TIME EVEN TODAY. IT MAKES GREAT UNIQUE SOUNDS WHICH CAN ONLY BE PRODUCED BY THESE MINIMOOGS.

THIS UNIT IS IN SPLENDID CONDITION FOR IT’S AGE

IT WAS ACQUIRED FROM A LOCAL FT LAUDERDALE ESTATE , IT SEEMS TO BE IN EXCELLENT VINTAGE WORKING / PHYSICAL CONDITION. HISTORY UNKNOWN TO SELLER , LOOKS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL. WE PLUGGED AND PLAYED FOR ONE HOUR AND IT DID NOT OVERHEAT. I’M NOT AN EXPERT AT MANIPULATING THIS UNIT BUT IT DOES SEEMS TO BE 100% FUNCTIONAL.” Link

“This Mini Moog was purchased by myself in 1980- I was told it was about 3 or 4 years old. It is all original. The power cord is dried and needs to be replaced. Last time I used it (about 10 years ago) it would not tune. It’s obvious it needs some work. I don’t have the time to get it fixed, so my loss is your find. This keyboard has been on the road. But still looks great except for a crack in the part upper of the wood frame. (see pictures). Good luck and enjoy.” Link

“A MOOG MINIMOOG, IN GOOD CONDITION AND SOUNDING LIKE PURE ANALOG HEAVEN!! THIS IS IT.A TWEAKER’S DREAM!! A RICH FAT PHAT PHFFATTT!! SUPER FAT, GEORGEOUS SOUNDING SYNTHESIZER FROM OUR GREAT FATHER ROBERT MOOG.IF YOU HAVE BEEN TURNING KNOBS FOR MANY YEARS, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE REASON YOU STARTED.WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST TOUCHED ONE OF THESE? IT’S ONE OF THOSE TYPE OF QUESTIONS THAT GIVES ONE PAUSE.” Link

“Vintage Moog Minimoog Model D synthesizer, the classic! This one is in serial number 5282, built August 1974 in Williamsville, NY. It is in gorgeous condition, just refurbished and calibrated, all original, free from any modifications, parts swapping, etc.

The wood cabinet is in great condition, with very few (and only very minor) nicks or blemishes. The tuning is stable and adjusted – playing across the keyboard or switching octave registers does not require retuning the oscillators. The keyboard has been completely rebuilt, with brand new rubber key bushings, and it looks and feels like it just left the showroom. There are no cracks – or even scratches – on the keys. (The top 3 black notes look scratchy in the third photo, but that is a reflection. They are perfect.) The keys have been aligned, both vertically and horizontally (no weird gaps between keys), and the key contacts were cleaned so that all notes play glitch-free.

This is a rare instrument in superb condition, ideal for a serious collector or museum. But because it is vintage, it must be sold AS IS.” Link

“Hallo, ich biete hier einen alten Minimoog an. Ich habe ihn einst in Pennsylvania gekauft, ordentlich verzollt und hier in Deutschland “fit gemacht”, er lag nämlich jahrelang in einer staubigen Ecke und hat hier zuerst nur wild rumgepiepst. Nachdem alle Schalter gereinigt waren, lief er hier jahrelang klaglos als Studiogerät. Er hat in Amerika ein wildes Rock´n Roll – Leben hinter sich, das Gehäuse hat reichlich Spuren von Zigarettenkippen und zerschlagenen Jack-Daniels-Flaschen. Darum wurde das Gehäuse auch von mir gereinigt und neu nachgebeizt. Nun ist er wieder schön und trägt trotzdem noch die altehrwürdige Patina einer Rampensau zur Schau. Der Synth ist unverbastelt, lediglich das ModWheel-Poti und ein Sicherungshalter sind ausgewechselt worden (beides Teile von Modusonics, dem Lieferanten der Originalteile in USA). Die Gummifüße unten sind neu. Die Knöpfe sind neu (original von EMC-Moog Deutschland).
Der Mini ist nach wenigen Minuten Stimmstabil, anfangs klingt er recht rau, nach etwa 15- 20 Minuten ist er dann seidenweich, wie es sich gehört. Die Platinen sind meines Wissens noch nie “recappet” worden, es sind also noch alle alten Elkos an Bord, darum muß er halt etwas warm werden. Dies ist die frühe Version mit den R.A.Moog-Boards! Die Tastatur funktioniert tadellos, klappert natürlich nach den vielen Jahren, müsste mal neu gedämpft werden (bloß nicht mit den original Gummis, die taugen nichts, sondern mit der Filzlösung von Virtual Music in Wien, die ist grandios (besser als original), günstig und schnell zu machen. Die Tasten sind alle intakt, lediglich auf der Oberseite sind stellenweise leichte Risse zu sehen, die aber die Funktion nicht beeinträchtigen. Diese Risse hab ich bisher bei fast allen alten Minis gesehen. Ich habe noch einen kompletten Satz alter Minimoog-Tasten rumliegen, die packe ich bei, dann habt ihr was zu basteln. Die originalen Tasten machen es aber noch locker weitere 35 Jahre.

Hier steht der Synth nur noch rum, dann muß ich irgendwann die Schalter wieder reinigen, weil er sonst rumspinnt, also sollte er lieber irgendwo benutzt werden.
Die Potis funktionieren alle, eines knistert etwas, geht aber nach einiger Benutzung wieder weg. Reinigen kann man diese Potis nämlich nicht, auch wenn irgendwelche Pappnasen das behaupten. Die Potis sind bei allen Minis gekapselt!

Kurz: Ein ehrlicher, fett klingender Synth, dem man sein langes Leben ansieht. Natürlich ein 110V Modell, ein Konverter ist aber dabei. Kann also sofort benutzt werden, der Kleine. Wie gesagt: Es handelt sich um ein über 35 Jahre altes Teil (Ser.Nr. ist 3271), irgendwann sollten die Elkos mal getauscht werden. Alle Funktionen sind intakt, das Filter ist sogar bei voller Resonanz in Stimmung zu den Oszillatoren spielbar! Ich packe ein nagelneues Bufferboard bei, falls ihr unbedingt mehr Stimmstabilität haben wollt, ich würds aber nicht anbauen, eine alte Gibson ist weit weniger stabil als dieser Moog.
Das fast neue Flightcase von EMC Moog Deutschland ist ebenfalls dabei, ein professionelles Alu-Case mit Schmetterlingsverschlüssen, maßangefertigt!

Kenner wissen, worum es sich hier handelt, diese Dinger werden in DIESEM Zustand immer seltener. Wer das “Rundum-Sorglos-Paket mit Garantie” sucht, kauft sich bitte einen Voyager und verzichtet auf den Charme dieser alten Kiste, der sich deutlich auch im Klang niederschlägt.” Link

“I’m assuming that you know the fundamental basics of this synth if you’re considering a purchase. So, I will now address the issues that pertain to this specific machine. This Minimoog has been in my smoke-free studio for the last 7 years. I purchased it from another smoke-free studio where it spent a majority of it’s years (I’m acquainted with it’s previous owner). As you will see from the pictures, this particular Mini has survived all of it’s year’s of use, and still looks gorgeous! Cosmetically, I would say it’s a solid “Very Good”. It’s in excellent functioning condition. Everything works exactly as it should. No scratchy pots, bad switches, etc… I’ve also never had to tune the oscillators during the 7+ years I’ve owned it, not even once! The only fault I can find are two of it’s keys. Instead of triggering their respective notes, each of the two keys makes a bit of a warbly sound. They kind of wobble up and down, randomly. I’m not an expert on tech issues, but I believe this problem could easily be fixed by cleaning the keyboard’s buss bar. The rest of the keyboard plays great. That is the only issue there is on this synth, and it’s not much of an issue, especially if you’re going to play or sequence it using MIDI to CV, thus controlling it from your MIDI keyboard. Which brings me to the next exciting and unique feature of this beauty…

For those that do not know… The Minimoog is not the easiest vintage synthesizer to interface and sequence in a contemporary studio environment. It has a different standard (and jacks too) for CV and Gate than the majority of it’s analog peers. This creates an obvious challenge in regard to controlling it with MIDI. That’s why the previous owner had his tech perform a small modification that allows it to be hooked up to a standard MIDI to CV converter with no hassle. This “modification” is very unobtrusive and that was important to me, because I believe in keeping the integrity and appearance of such a legendary synth intact. Here’s how the CV/Gate mod works…

The 1/8″ input jacks that are neatly installed and labeled on the back panel (CV, Gate, Bend), allow you to plug any 1V/oct MIDI to CV converter in and start playing or sequencing, right away. You can use any converter on the market too, because the mod makes the Mini accept normal trigger signals at it’s 1/8″ jack, instead of the obscure S-trig jack that Moog originally implemented. Now, on the bottom left of the Mini’s control panel, (section “Controllers”) you will see a small toggle switch and a little blue-capped knob to it’s left. When you want to control the synth via CV/Gate you flip the switch, thus disengaging the Mini’s keyboard and allowing you to sequence or play it from your DAW, MIDI Keyboard Controller, etc…. In this state, the small blue-capped knob controls the amount of portamento, and the Minimoog’s keyboard is bypassed. Whenever you want to go back to playing the Minimoog’s keys, just flip the toggle switch back! It’s that simple.

I want to make it perfectly clear that the modification described above in no way affects or changes the characteristics inherent to the Minimoog. ALL of the Minimoog’s panel controls remain fully functional, including the very useful “Keyboard Tracking” switch (VCF function) and are completely unaffected by the “CV/Gate Mode”.

This beauty will fit right in great with your other gear. I’m not going to describe how incredible it sounds, as I don’t think there are any adjectives left that haven’t already been beat to death! But I will say that it is a very capable synth and yes, it does sound “fat” and all of those other things, courtesy of the Moog’s inimitable oscillators, filter, envelopes and amplifier.
The layout is worth mentioning…. It’s extremely sensible, almost bordering on simple. But don’t be fooled! There’s an inexhaustible amount of sounds that you can coax out of this iconic analog. It certainly does payoff to learn this machine, inside-out. I think some people glance at the panel and think they’ll be limited. Wrong. If you spend the time and learn it, get creative, you’ll reap the rewards. Then there’s the infamous External Filter Input. The Minimoog was designed so that you can only hear the external signal that’s being fed into it’s filter by pressing down a key, letting through the VCA. You will soon learn the benefits of being able to send gate signals to the Minimoog, synced to a MIDI clock while your drum machine plays away. This is an age old trick that has been used and abused but never stops being fun! For extra kicks you can program a MIDI sequence for the Mini while feeding another synth (or drum machine) through it’s glorious filter to warm (or even distort) things up a bit. Or maybe you just might prefer to run your “soft synth(s)” through the Mini’s famously smooth filter to add a bit of color to things….” Link

” An original Moog Music Minimoog Model D from 1974. The Mini is in beautiful condition and aside from a couple key contacts that need cleaning/adjusting (the most common maintenance on the Mini), it is in perfect operating condition. The keyboard bushings were replaced in 2008, and the power supply capacitors were replaced professionally circa 2007/2008. It has no scratchy/noisy pots, they all work as they should. I’ve owned this synth for a few years, purchased locally from the original owner. It sounds like the fantastic analogue synth you’d expect. Also, I’ve used this under CV control under which it performs perfectly.” Link

“Hello and welcome to my auction for a real, vintage, minimoog synthesizer. The unit is in working condition, but worn. Typical of vintage synths of this era, the oscillators can be unstable at times. This is not a museum piece. I can include a custom flight case if you wish, but it will add to the shipping cost. The item is being sold “as-is” so please ask any questions you may have before making an offer.” Link

“Early production MiniMoog analog synthesizer. Serial number 2281. Dated 1973 on the inspection tag inside, ’73 date codes on the pots.

Very good plus condition. Area of wear on right rear side corner and along adjacent rear edge. A few very minor scratches on cabinet, some rusty screws. There’s a missing factory tag of some kind on the back. The blue rocker switches show some color fading/yellowing. (See photos for details.) I’d rate it about a 7 or 8 on a scale of 10 cosmetically.

I’m not a keyboard player or a synth expert, but I’ve checked this unit out thoroughly and it seems to be in good basic working order. All keys work, and the synth seems to play pretty well in tune, although I haven’t compared each note to a tuning fork or electronic tuner to check.

Some of the six rotary switches in the Oscillator Bank need to be sprayed with contact cleaner, they’re kind of intermittent. A few of the pots could stand to be sprayed out too, but they’re pretty good as they are. Looks like quite a task to get in there and clean them, so I’ll leave that to the new owner. The power cord’s outer jacket is dry rotted…the inner wires’ insulation seems OK, so no need to worry about plugging the unit in, but the cable definitely should be replaced.

All components on the circuit board appear to be original. I’m sure the unit would benefit from a tune up by a competent technician…I haven’t had a tech check it out either. I’m pretty sure it’s never been serviced in its thirty-seven year lifetime!

U.S. 110-120 volt model.

Works as described, but sold as is due to its age since old electronic components can fail. No refunds or price adjustments.” Link

“MINIMOOG original! With flight case!

Serial Number: 3971

CIRCA 1973

If you want it, here it is, come and get it!

First let me say I am not a keyboard player. I am an experienced session guitarist and my knowledge of the ‘workings’ of a Minimoog is very limited, however, I do know a great sound when I hear it! The sound is definitive, particularly the bass, which is really out there.

I have had this Minimoog for three years, it is the real deal – I was producing an electro pop act and we wanted that ‘real’ Minimoog sound – not an ersatz pseudo moog sound!

It has been lovingly cared for, and in excellent working order; however, I personally have no further professional use for it.

This item is pick up only – shipping would be very expensive due to the weight of the Minimoog & flight case, which collectively is 24.5kg. I personally don’t want the responsibility of shipping.

The flight case is custom built and fits the Moog perfectly. The flight case dimensions are: W 32” H 9.25” D 21”” Link

“The item is in gorgeous condition. Both cosmetically and electronically it is in perfect shape.
It has been one of the cornerstones of my collection of analog synthesizers for quite a while.
I never thought I would part with it, but due to financial reasons, I no longer can justify keeping the unit.

The synthesizer is in its original unmodified condition, running at 110V.

The condition of the item – as stated in the auction title – is really incredible.
I have been a total maniac with this Musonics. I treated it with religious care.
Always kept in my house, away from dust and in a temperature controlled environment.
Please, check out the pictures and you’ll see what I mean.

The electronic condition is perfect: 100% working.
Kevin Lightner went through this particular Musonics a few years back and it has been working perfectly ever since.
No scratchy pots, intermittent sounds or misaligned keys. Everything is as pristine as it can be.
And considering the age of this instrument, it is really incredible.
I babied this one through the years.

Also, I had a custom case built by Encore Cases for this unit.
The case is brand new and it’s of the highest quality they provide.” Link

“Used Moog Model “D”, sold as is. This unit has better/preferred oscillators than the original Minimoog series and really sounds fabulous. Unit was purchased in 1974 and has had very little use over the last 35 years. Never opened by a technician, it includes fiber carrying case, which adds protection in cartage or shipping. (Note: even when extremely well-packed & padded, shipping such fine, vintage electronics can be somewhat chancey! We’d suggest you pick it up and avoid shipping if possible.) S/n 5552. Please examine the pictures closely and let us answer any questions you might have about this very special piece.” Link

“974 Minimoog Synthesizer Serial 5766

This minimoog is in perfect working condition. I’ve had it since 2003 in my recording studio. I’ve enjoyed playing it over the years. It’s sad to have to put it up on here to sell. I don’t have a job right now, so I have no choice but to sell it. I hope who ever wins this moog will take special care of it. It’s a one of a kind vintage peace of music history. Everything works great. The keys feel good, the knobs, and switches work great! Cosmetically the wood has some small scraches and little dings. Other than that everything is great. It comes with a road case. ” Link

Will ship worldwide.

“Original MOOG – MINIMOOG® SYNTHESIZER

original Moog Music USA
Seriennummer: 12949

Nur wenige Instrumente haben die musikalischen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten so revolutionieren können wie der legendäre Moog Synthesizer mit seiner enormen Klangvielfalt. Dieses Instrument prägte maßgeblich die Ära des 70er-Jahre-Sounds. Ein echter MOOG – MINIMOOG® SYNTHESIZER ist nunmehr zur Rarität geworden. Diejenigen, die auf analoge Transistortechnik und ein Instrument schwören, welches durch sein nahezu unerschöpfliches Klangspektrum Musikgeschichte geschrieben hat, können hier durch eines der vielleicht letzten funktionstüchtigen Exemplare im vollsten Maße überzeugt sein.

Das Originalmodell wurde im November 2002 vollständig von Lintronics restauriert und bekam zeitgemäße Features, wie beispielsweise Stimmenstabilisierung und ein Midi-Intervace.

Ausführliche Informationen zu den technischen Daten, sowie den umfangreichen Bedienungsmöglichkeiten sind auf Anfrage gern erhältlich.

“This is a New Old Stock oscillator board, made by Moog Music as a replacement for the original board in the Minimoog model D, with more stable oscillators. This may be one of the last Original Moog boards around. This kit has the pc board, (fully stuffed), grommets, insulating strips, and mylar overlay. I have no way of testing it, but it was purchased from the Moog Service Department and never used.” Link

“This auction is for a Moog Model D MiniMoog.The item is tested(every knob and switch)and is in great working condition.This auction includes the original manual,soundchart(very rare,you had to buy this extra at the time)hardshell bag,and 2 button footswitch.There are some minor dings in the wood but overall it’s in good cosmetic condition for it’s age.” Link

“This auction is for a 1978 MiniMoog Model D (dated 9/25/78). We specialize in vintage and rare keyboard sales, and this is the closest we’ve seen to a perfect MiniMoog. If you’ve been wanting to buy a MiniMoog and waiting for the right one, this is it. Stability and reliability are the big issues when it comes to finding a MiniMoog to buy, and this one is off the charts. It comes with EVERYTHING and we have a demonstration video to see it in action.

I purchased this synth from the original owner. It saw minimal use when it was purchased and has been sitting in a flight case for the last 30 years. There was residue from the flight case foam on the wood finish, so we had the the wood case professional restored by www.synthwood.com. SynthWood also fully serviced and inspected this MiniMoog: keyboard contacts were inspected and cleaned, the keys were polished, the wheelbox was refurbished, the power cable was replaced, the knobs were cleaned, and the oscillators were calibrated and tuned. The SynthWood repair tech commented that the key contacts and electronics were extremely nice shape and that the oscillators are very stable, making it one of the nest minis he’d worked on. Being from 1978, this is the later circuit board designed by Bob Moog, designed to have more stable (less drifting) oscillators, This holy grail of synths is ready to record! No issues, a like new Minimoog! On top of playing and sounding great, it comes with a ton of goodies. Includes original owners manual, rare Minimoog sound charts book by Tom Rhea, original warranty card sheet (unfilled), awesome looking “Moog Synthesizers Authorized Performer” sticker (unused with backing still on it), the original anvil case (with unfilled anvil warranty card), and the S-Trig add on with original envelope (which allows external audio signals such as guitar to be sent through the moog filters without having to trigger a key). This is the real deal, I’ve never seen a more complete fantastic sounding Minimoog. ” Link

“It’s time for me to part with an old friend. I’ve owned this vintage Model D (SN 6722) since 1986 and since that time it has been used very sparingly (and never gigged or traveled). I used it mainly to add some color to experiments and sound projects. It’s in great shape, however there are a few issues: There’s slight bend in the metal panel up by the “EXT. S-TRIG” (see photo) and four keys (3rd black from left, 9th white from left and the very last two keys on the right) sound “unstable” …as if you were playing with the Mod wheel…when you hold the key down all the way. In the mixer section, the “noise” knob is missing the silver colored decoration in the middle of the knob (the knob itself is there and works fine). Extras include the original operation and tech manuals! Anyone who has ever encountered a Model D will tell you that there’s nothing like them…they’re like a little old person with their own personality!” Link

“1974 Vintage Moog Model “D” analogue Synth with HEAVY-DUTY flight case that will give peace of mind during shipping and protect the Synth for years to come! JUST gone over by a tech who cleaned the contacts, switches, pots, replaced one of the caps and generally gave the unit a good cleaning, so it is GOOD TO GO! These sythesizers are legendary for their amazing sounds and this one is NO exception!!! Has some minor nicks in the wood but overall in good condition for a 35 year old synth! Power supply included. A super cool model D sythesizer for a great price! ” Link

“Wife wants me to list, I don’t want to. I don’t care if it sells or not. I don’t play with this one much anymore, and I still have other toys, but it hurts to see this one go.

Minimoog Model D, serial #3656. The Console works perfectly, the keyboard needs to be cleaned, as there are some keys that take off (this doesn’t happen as often after you bang on them for a while, a sure sign that it needs cleaning).

The panel laminate is bubbling, a common problem with minimoogs in this series. There’s some other cosmetic issues, but nothing that can’t be easily fixed. The third key is a little higher than the others, the moog plaque is missing from the front, and a small crack in the wood on the top of the Console.

I’m mostly concerned about shipping this monster. I have a pretty heavy wooden roadcase, custom built for the minimoog, but shipping is still going to be difficult. If you’re in Texas, maybe we could meet somewhere. Anywhere in the midwest, actually, we could talk. Otherwise, shipping is gonna be UPS, and insurance is gonna be mandatory. I’m thinking at least 100$ to ship (the case is very heavy), but it’s yours if you buy it, so we can work that out on the phone if you want.

I can’t believe I’m doing this.

If you don’t know what a minimoog is, and if you don’t know someone who can fix it, then don’t bother bidding, please. ” Link
