Here’s a fully functional Polymoog 203a Synthesizer in nice cosmetic condition.  This was serviced in August 2023 by Synthchaser.  Work done included:

  • Recapped power supply
  • Repaired all known functional issues
  • Replaced panel button LEDs with new, lower current blue LEDs – reduces synthesizer power consumption by over 1/4 Amp, increases LED lifespan, and looks cool.
  • Cleaned slide pots

The Polymoog Synthesizer was made by Moog between 1975 and 1980.  Its 71 key weighted keyboard, 45 slide pots, and bombastically engineered grandiose design (which included 3-band multi-mode resonators, keyboard dynamic response, custom IC chips, and nearly 100 circuit boards inside) made it the pinnacle of 1970’s synthesizer excess.  The Polymoog Synthesizer was used by Rick Wakeman all over Yes’ Going For The One and Tormato albums.  A later stripped-down, largely preset version of this synthesizer, the 280a model, was notably used by Gary Numan (“Cars”).

Prospective buyers are welcome to come try it out before purchasing.  This item is cross-posted and subject to prior sale.

Shipping is available within the US, contact me for details.  If being shipped the item will be sold in “Non-Functioning” condition, as-is, for parts or repair with no returns.  It will be packed well and insured for the full purchase price against loss or physical damage, but this is a Polymoog, a notoriously unreliable model (in my opinion due to its large number of poor quality interconnects), and I can only guarantee this to be functional, as it is now, at the time of an in person pickup.
