For sale is a 1974 Minimoog that has been a labor of love for the last couple years here at Foleytronics. We bought this synth in very poor condition with the intent of restoring it to its former glory, and to be honest, I believe we have failed: it is better than it ever was! This instrument has a brand new walnut case to replace the old cracked one, a new modwheel panel, a new bottom, NOS Pratt Read keyboard keys and new knobs; every pot has been disassembled and cleaned, it has received a full recap and calibration, including a slight modification we did to the octave switching circuit to help the oscillators stay in tune with each other. I am listing it as excellent, but in reality it's mint. I only refrain from listing as mint because of some minor aging on some of the exposed metal of the chassis.
One disclaimer: this is a vintage synth, despite its cosmetic beauty. This means that it is subject to all the very same possible issues with which any vintage synthesizer owner is intimately familiar. Yes, this applies to fully serviced vintage synths - the vast majority of the electronics are 50 years old this year, and the keyboard is a very old design that will continue to require periodic maintenance for the rest of its life. If you do not like maintenance, do not buy vintage gear. Thus, this instrument is sold as is.
Aside from the photos, we shot a video of this actual unit. I will really miss this Minimoog, it is by far the best one I've played!
