# Moog muSonics Minimoog
“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
