Looks in left back pocket
Owwā¦i think i still have some spare money leftā¦let me just mail the ebay sellerā¦ 
Im going to bid. Let me just call Bernie Madoff and transfer a few funds.
No way I could possibly justify thatā¦even in Moog Financial Units! 
Since the one I have here cost only about $40K, I guess my repair bill has just been set at $25K.
Cool. I was going to charge much lessā¦ 
Heās gonna get his auction pulled for ācross-listingā brandsā¦

Maybe. 
When an item is worth that much money in fees to Ebay, sometimes they decide not to mess with them.
Why donāt we buy it as a group? Iāll kick in twenty bucks.
Okay Ill agree, but it has to stay at my house.
No. It must stay in neutral territory where we can all be the same distance from it. 
So the North-Pole it will be thenā¦
Maybe we each get a peice of it, and then once a year we can get together in one place and like a big boss Transformer, combine them all again to totally rule and kick ass and stuff!
No fair!
Hmmm, try getting the oscillators to tune in the Arcticā¦
I wonder if it has any 4000 series CMOS, they donāt like the cold either.
The one for sale claims to have a PDP/8 based ācomputerā module included too; though why someone selling a $65K item would fail to put up 12 large images for a few bucks defeats me.
I had exactly the same thoughts when i saw this advertisementā¦why just one small picture of this very expensive setup.
I saw advertisements just for a Moog Voyager which even made pictures from the underside of the synthā¦why not a few more for this expensive gear.
Now that the subject has been brought up, that is a bit bizarreā¦ 
I was gonna pick it up, but I just dropped $1200 for a Mono/Poly, so now my gear fund is exhausted for the rest of the month.

Tis the other way around.
CMOS is fine when cold.
Heat is the destroyer of semiconductors.
Quote from Wikipediaā¦
Conventional CMOS devices work over a range of -55 Ā°C to +125 Ā°C. There are indications that silicon CMOS will work down to 40 kelvin
Thereās also superconductivity.
This is a whole field of science dedicated to the benefits of cooled electronics.
Btw, if the VCOs were tuned when cold and the temp remained the same, so would the tuning.
Going from cold to hot (or vice versa) is where drift and scaling issues come from.
There are days here when I canāt calibrate a synth because the temperature can change so widely and quickly.
It can actually be 80F in the day and 30F at night.
A change of 50 degrees in a matter of hours isnāt so much fun when tuning a synth.
Especially a big polyphonic with 16 vcos.
As soon as youāre done, you have to start over again..
