This is an original Mini Moog from the 1970's- not a re-issue.The re-issues do not sound the same, and if you look inside one, you'll see they are not 100% analog, there have microchips that did not exist in the early 70's! This is the real deal and has that true deep, rich, warm, analog sound that cannot be duplicated. Used by thousands of musicians over many decades it is still one of the most sought after vintage synths.
This one is in great condition, especially for it's age. as you can see from the photos. Aside from a few minor nicks in the wood it's cosmetic condition is excellent. The wood is also quite rare - it's known s a "blonde Mini Moog" because it has a lighter type of wood than the darker walnut used on most of them. The blondes are even more collectible and valuable due to their rarity.
Electronically, everything works 100%. It is serial #8166, which indicates it has the later oscillators, which were more stable and stayed in tune better than the earlier ones. That said, it is an analog synth which requires tuning (that's just the nature of the beast) ,so the tuning is never as precise as a modern digital one which is exact and doesn't even require tuning.
Included is an Anvil road case, so it will be well protected in shipping. That said, I would prefer you pick up from me, as this is a heavy , delicate and expensive thing to ship with the potential for damage always there with Fed.Ex. or UPS. You would also be able to thoroughly check it out before buying that way. If you are too far to come to me, I will consider shipping within the continental U.S., but the buyer would pay all shipping and insurance costs in addition to the purchase price.
