I just noticed this “minimoog moog E type 204E” on Ebay. I’d never heard of this before. Check out the lever switches, in particular the features in the Controller section:

Here’s a review from '98.

Yeah, that’s the Welsh Minimoog. That’s why in the UK a Minimoog Voyager actually has the label “Voyager by Bob Moog”, not “Moog Music” - unless they’ve managed to buy back the name in recent years. Apparently even the circuit boards had to have any reference to Moog Music removed!
Just noticed this post.
I have both, an original and the ‘Welsh’ model E mini. The Welsh one is amazing, the sound is really fat, and the keyboard response
is very good. It has a lovely solid wood cabinet in Wallnut and is really just a vast improvement on the original Musonics Mini’s.
If you can get hold of one, get it, it’s well worth it.
