Moog Opus 3

“I’m finally parting with my Moog Opus 3 after many years of being kept in a smoke-free studio and apartment. This instrument is a legend owned and used by the likes of Stereolab, Boards of Canada, Kraftwerk & Ministry!!!

Apearance-wise it has a handful of scuffs, marks, and scratches as anyone born in 1980 would.

It was recently serviced in July by an authorized Moog service tech in NYC.

I can include a manual

Here is a rundown of the work;

PCBs removed.

The Articulator Attack slider was broken and has been replaced. All controls were repaired/replaced as necessary and cleaned.

Bad solder joints reflowed on all boards. Connectors resoldered on the panel and voice PCBs.

Replaced a handful of op-amps on the panel board overall.

A few purple electrolytic capacitors that are liable to leakage were replaced on the panel PCB.

Key contacts and bus bar were cleaned and treated for proper note triggering.

The voices seem to have a fairly even decay, so I’ll leave the envelope capacitors (1 per key) as is for now to keep repair costs down. I think it should be fine for the foreseeable future.

Full calibration and full function check after repairs are complete.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
