# Moog Micromoog
“You are bidding on a Micromoog 2090 analog synthesizer from Moog Music Inc.
I am not the original owner of this unit, but I did use it for live performance and recording for a few years between 2003-2007.
Please note that this unit is being sold AS-IS, and there are no returns, I am selling it in the hopes that someone with some knowledge in electronics might be able to open it up and make a few fixes. Very few of the Micromoogs still out there are in perfect condition as they were all produced 1975-1979. These circuits are coming on 35 years old.
The unit powers on without a problem and still makes some very interesting sounds. The modulation works, the mod wheel is fine, the filter seems to have some problems and probably needs some work. Wave settings seem to adjust properly. The pitch bend ribbon is brand new (I had it replaced just before putting into storage). However, make no mistake, if you are looking for a Micromoog in perfect condition, this is not it. The main problems are that it does not hold pitch (it falls off gradually and then begins to rise slowly), and the sounds are pretty gritty on most settings (there are probably pots that need replacement etc..) and the filter is not as precise and smooth as one might hope.
This auction also includes an ATA flight case custom made to fit the Micromoog. I had it built by Hot Rod Cases in Trumansburg (the original home of Moog Music, incidentally). The case fits like a glove and is heavy duty, with 1″ hard foam.
Finally, I this auction includes a copy of the original Micromoog Operation Manual written by Tom Rhea.
So, if you are have some electronics know-how and some time, or if you are interested in owning an imperfect noise maker, or if you are just interested in owning a piece of history, this auction is for you.” Link
