Synthchaser #108 – Vintage Minimoog Repair & Tour Inside

Today we have a tour around the inside of a vintage Moog Minimoog Model D with a damaged and dangerously miswired power cord. I show you how to open up the synthesizer, what’s inside, and how to change the power cord and power light.

Power lamps are available here:

    ARP Omni 2 with no main output.. The fake 1458 chip with the sketchy soldering caught my eye so I went to rework it.

    For sale at synthchaser.com I've got this Polymoog Keyboard 280a. The Polymoog 280a is a legendary analog polysynth best known for its iconic “Vox Humana” preset—instantly recognizable from Gary Numan’s Cars and countless other synth classics. With full polyphony, a rich analog tone, and that haunting, phasey character, this keyboard delivers pure synth nostalgia in its most expressive form.#garynuman #cars #voxhumana #polymoog #moog #minimoog #vintage #analog #synthesizer #keyboard #vintagesynth #analogsynth ...
