I was wondering if it makes a difference which side (pos or neg) has the larger blade.

Yes, sometimes it does.
Generally the thicker blade is ground.

I may switch the poles. I remember wiring the thicker blade to pos..

It's like the s-trig is on full on, it is just shorting the current, correct? I was wondering if it makes a difference which side (pos or neg) has the larger blade. The drum isn't really like an envelope according to the speaker, the harder you hit the drum the faster it moves the speaker which sets...

At the risk of "bumping" this topic, I'm going to address the functionality of the controller now. I have plugged it in and so far don't see much difference between the 2 different 1/4" cv outs. The tapping of the drum creates a steady cv output from both the 1/4" plugs, when plu...

So, red wire to pin 1, green to pin2, black to pin 3, and so on. Just remember to slide the hood on first before soldering. :lol: Here is the stock setup you need. The stock 1130 had a long cord attached, to reach the drum kit. I have finally wired this. . Wish I'd read your post again.. Precisely ...

GREAT! Thanks for all the info, CZ.

Also thanks, Eric, for all the great info and input about this. I'll respond when I'm done putting the cables on the drum.

I scanned the 1130 service notes a while back, they are archived at the Synthfool site.: Moog 1130 schematics and service notes And here is a handy Cinch page with some part numbers and links to Mouser and Newark stock. http://www.cinch.com/products/electronic-communication-systems/jones-plugs-sock...

They do have serials on the boards, but they're different: osc board has 1313 on it whilst the filter board is 12xx and none of the inspection tags--although they're initialed and dated--have a basic serial number on it. My guess is the inspectors didn't know what the serial number would be yet? Or ...

Is there a way to figure out the serial? I have the "old" oscillator but each board has a different number on it, and the serial outside is gone.. I suspect it's around 1300 or 1313 or something like that. It's a Musonics Minimoog, with clear wheels and metal front panel.

Why is it a 6 prong plug if it only supplies power? No CV control on tap there? Why would a Moog drum controller have both a cinch jones plug and another cinch jones female connected to it, forming a breakout box with another cinch-jones for power and the 2 1/4" plugs and the S-trig? Maybe I'm ...

What you 'tards don't realize is that a Moog poly will probably bankrupt Moog, especially in this economy. But continue to put pressure on them for your own selfish, materialistic needs, that's the American way, right? You know, this forum is probably being monitored by Moog and they probably care ...

Ordering from Mouser next week.. 2 1/4" audio plugs, 2 male 6 pin cinch-jones plugs and 1 female cinch jones jack. They have the (7) multi lead cable, but it appears they have a minimum length of 50'. Fortunately there's an old radio/tv/tube amp tech in my area who told me he has a friend who h...

If it isn't upgraded, it would feature the "old oscillator". Probably around '73 or so? If you can look under the hood, there should be some inspection tags inside, and you can see if it has been upgraded.

Same inspector, different assembler and tester. Slightly different dates, but in late Sept '73 through Oct '73. I'll get pictures today. It makes sense they'd be close as they're both Ludwig drums, so you'd think they were getting the boards ready for when the drums arrived and assembled them for th...

"And now, back to our regularly-scheduled program.." Does anyone know where these cables that go with the various controllers may be obtained? I need the cable with the connector and the cable that plugs into it with the connector and the cv-control plugs.. I suppose this could be built wi...

Mine's dated merely 2 weeks later from yours, Eric.. They probably had a production run of them at that time.
