“Classic “Realistic” Moog in really nice condition.
If you’re looking at this listing you probably know exactly what this is – a proper USA made Moog, designed and re-badged for sale in Tandy / Radio Shack stores. These are from the same era as the Rogue, and have some similarities but also lots of cool unique features including a basic polyphonic section, oscillator sync and ring modulator. In my opinion the MG1 is superior to the Rogue, which makes it a rare bargain in the world of vintage synthesizers.
It’s a cool synth which excels at weird noises, drones, and evolving textures. I bought this a while ago having searched for a decent one for ages but these days it’s not getting the use it deserves.
I’ve freshly serviced this ready for sale – I had to remove all the notorious black goo from above the controls and switches, which luckily had not done any serious damage. I was able to clean up the original sliders and switches and it now works without fault, with all the controls operating reliably and without pops or crackles.
Cosmetic condition is very good, all knobs are intact, and there’s no significant damage to anything. Unfortunately there is a weird stain on the white keys (visible in photo) as well some light scratches to some of the black keys. Still a very smart-looking instrument over all.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
