Moog modulars today: where and how much ?

Does anybody know where I’d have the chance to buy a great old working MOOG modular like the System 35 or 55, or the even older System 3C ? And how much would these beauties cost (appr.) - let’s say for a basic version ?

I saw some great looking ones on http://www.analogsynths.com/ (in the “Store” section; and they’re still there) but I’ve never got any answer to my mails (asking for exact setup - which modules - and price).

Thanks for giving me any more info.

  • THM -

A stock IIIc or System 55 can set you back at least $20,000, System 35 $12,000. Expanded modulars (extra cabinet, more modules, ribbon controller, etc) will set you back even more. Smaller modulars like the System 15 go for $6,000.

analogsynths.com will ask for higher prices, they’re major hoarders and they don’t bargain.

Your best bet may be the VEMIA auctions. I think they’re coming around in November.

Thanks :smiley:

MoogCE

Good luck contacting them. They finally sent me a reply to and email sent 2 years ago last year, and I’m STILL waiting for a reply to that message!

Thanks for warning me.

I had a similar (although not that bad) experience with the people from Polyfusion; sent them a mail several months ago for prices of the modular (and original MOOG) systems somewhere on their website, and still haven’t got any answer yet. :frowning:

I sent both MOOGCE and Polyfusion emails last week asking if they have copies of moog modular owner’s manual. They both replied on the same day!

:confused: ??? :unamused:

Funny, you would think that someone enquiring about purchasing modules would actually get a faster response then copied pieces of paper.

Totally agreed. Now called Modusonics, they have always had atrocious sales support. They replied to my original email inquiring about a copy of the moog modular owner’s manual. Several subsequent emails have gone without response.
