“Realistic Concertmate MG-1 Synthesizer (Moog).
You are bidding on a Realistic Concertmate MG-1 synthesizer. These were built by Moog for radioshack and were sold in the early 80s.
This one is most certainly not 100% condition as it has lost a few slider covers and the sliders themselves will crackle a little, but this synth can still produce some incredible sounds that you won’t hear anywhere else.
There are pitch and trigger inputs on the back which work as cv and gate (these have been tested and work fine).
It has phono inputs (not through the filter) and outputs and a headphone output on the front.
Internal power supply and supplied with appropriate kettle lead.
This would be great as a refurbishment project or as I have done for many years – sequenced and sampled the synth for some incredible sound loops. The sound is massively unstable (in a good way) and just sounds vintage and alive in a way that modern analog synths just don’t quite capture.
Refurbished models go for between £500-800 at the moment, but to be clear this unit with all the various crackles and missing pots is not 100% perfect and the starting price reflects this. Please take into account the description and watch the video before bidding.
I want you to be aware of the nature of this quirky and at times noisy synth. I also want you to be aware that this is an oportunity to get an absolutely mad sounding synth that doesn’t quite sound like anything else.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
