Is this normal for a moog prodigy??

Can someone tell me if this is normal for a prodigy??..the pichbend wheel and the mod wheel are on the righthand side instead of the left???

I think the picture is inverted. Look at the text on the manual.

I have no idea why it is orange, though.

And the panel looks quite bent.

i think that orange panel is a dust cover of some sort

The person selling must have no idea what it is. They say it is an “early model” from 1980, but the Prodigy began production in 1976. 4 years after production began is hardly an early model.

Also, what kind of dust cover doesn’t cover the knobs, switches or keys?

Anyway, I would stay away from it. The auction seems kind of fishy. The seller listed the same item twice.

The orange panels are cardboard “overlays” with markings on to show you how to set up a “brass” sound . . or a “string” sound etc. The photo is flipped.

.. and here I thought that the wheels were on that side because it was for the UK market. :smiley:

Yes that’s a patch overlay. It’s obvious from the second picture.

And Prodigys started production in 1980, not 1976.

“Early model” could mean no trigger/CV I/O jacks, they put them on later Prodigys. Retrofitting isn’t hard though.

Ah, my mistake. The info I read must have been wrong.
