This one is Serial Number 1037/1038 (a FrankenMoog?), made by Mr.
Moog himself, in April of 1971. Discrete transistors, NO OP AMPS,
apparently impossible to keep in tune.
No, it doesn't work, alas. The power amp section works (speakers go
BOOM! when the thing is powered up, and noise can be heard when its
output is turned up), but only OSC3 can be heard, faintly, as if it
were bleed-through. No sound at all from OSC 1 or 2.
I don't need yet another project, otherwise I'd offer to buy it,
strictly for the cool factor... if it were ever working again it
would be SO sweet.

Hey Ken!
I immediately jumped on the link, without reading the message, in
ecstatic anticipation of the sound files I'd find there. Sigh...Moog
not working.
I used to have an Arp Odyssey that was oh-so-fun. You'd better believe
that cool factor thing. I still sometimes speak in portamento out of
both adoration and respect for the dead!
