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:

Synthchaser #107 – Homemade LM3900 Norton Op Amp Tester

In this short video, I explain what an op amp is and how a Norton Op Amp is different, and then show a little test fixture I made to test these specialized IC Chips that I run into frequently while repairing vintage synthesizers.
