This is the ninety-sixth Minimoog ever built, from 1970 or 71. There are no integrated circuits inside. It doesn't stay in tune too well, but it sounds so good!

Work performed:

 

- Washed all keys, replaced bushings, replaced rubber suspensions for key contact PCB

- Cleaned key contacts, and adjusted CV/trigger timing

- Removed rust from key frame, individual key alignment

- Replaced all Electrolytic Capacitors

- Fixed Pink Noise generator

- Fixed broken solder joints, cleaned all pots and switches.

- Replaced frayed, ungrounded AC cord

- Complete calibration

- Panel cleaning

- Wood cleaning and polishing

I've worked on plenty of "newer" Minimoogs, and I own one from 1977. There were several versions built between 1970-81. Here are some differences I noticed on this very early RA Moog:

- AC ungrounded

- No holes in back of chassis to access trim pots

- Clear, smooth pitch and mod wheels

- Power supply

- All discrete circuitry

- Very high quality gold key contacts

- White rocker switches

- Left hand control panel jacks and switches

- No op amps
