In a stroke of the stuff music myth is created out of the UW moog modular mentioned in this post (sn 1014) has come to light in my life. After spending the better part of a decade in a storage unit, the owner that bought it from the university in the late 90s has decided it should be brought to the public. I am now working with him to get it back to working order, and singing her sweet song once again.
I am in search of any and all information about this piece of history. Please help.
SN 1014 moog modular. Found in storage.
Re: SN 1014 moog modular. Found in storage.
Not much to add here, except that its a great thing to have found such an early Mini and am glad to hear that it will be brought back to playable. It would be awesome if the school got it and set it up in their music dept. as a resource for the students.
I know I've seen a hand written list of all the early Minis and who they went to. This could confirm a bit of the machines history.
Repair and technical info is readily available. Get it to an experienced tech.

Uh, Revtor, you are aware that you can always edit a message to correct some things in any of your previous posts ? Also, you can even delete one, as long as nobody has replied to it yet. After which you can only edit it.

Thanks for the tips guys I'll try my best to read from now on. (You sure that thread title didn't change overnight? The serial # threw me off.

A related note, I took a few music classes at a local college years ago and was snooping around in the new arts building's music storage room that happened to be open (of course looking for synths) Well, what do I find!?!? A System 15. No joke, stacked amongst other flight case orchestral boredom a black tolex cabinet with latches.. pop, pop, W T F! holy bleep -Vintage Moog! Pretty awesome to find, I asked my prof if we could hook it up, I had a 15 or so module MOTM at the time and would have loved to bring them together. But alas it was not going to happen for reasons I forget. The room was never open again in my semesters at the school and the prof never got a hold of "the guy who really knows about that thing". It may still be sitting in that closet who knows. The studio did have a 2600 though, set up and open for business. I was the only one to incorporate it into a piece that semester. Moral of the story -They're out there!

Re: SN 1014 moog modular. Found in storage.
That sucks.
There is a teacher on campus who has a 2600 in there with a bunch of other gear and he refuses to meet with me for some reason. And it really sucks because in this area that stuff is so rare and just getting to SEE one would be a blessing for me. And I haven't met anyone else in my town interested in analog synths, though I have seen a Moog sticker on a bumper or two.
I'm thinking I'm just going to get some portable cabinets built and set up in the park and see if I can meet some folks that way.
So your pain is felt.

Re: SN 1014 moog modular. Found in storage.
I can help. I have been restoring Moog products for well over a decade. I know these early Moog modular systems quite well and recently worked with a local university to restore a large system with a very close serial number. Feel free to get in touch with me at borishelectronics.com I'm located in Chicago if it helps.
