prices of The Source
prices of The Source
Have you noticed the increase in the price of these over the past 6 months? They seem to be in the $1200 range now for ones in excellent condition. At these prices I may put mine up and fully restore my Mini D and pick up some moogers.

I got a super nice condition source about 4 years ago for $475. It is a shame how these things go up in value as they get even older and more unstable. People hear the name Moog and flip out. You don't need to pay $1200 for a 20+ year old synth when you could save a little more money and buy a new one. You'll get service and a warranty and something that is new. The Source is a great synth but limited compared to what we have today. I'd never pay more than $500 for a Source.

i dont think i'll ever sell my Source. it really is a unique moog and it sounds so good. i got it for $700, which is a price I'm sure I'll never see again. i've even modded it a little (reversed the note-priority, and am working on adding an expression pedal to control to the pitch wheel (+5) for those sweet sync-off freq. squeals via feet). the Source is really my favorite moog... glad to hear the new Moog "***" is based on a similar design.

this source went last night for just under $700. a good price even if it has one ugly key. worth the discount in my opinion.

ehh yeah but overall it looked pretty dirty which probably means it wasn't cared for very well. i'd rather pay a few hundred more for a unit that has been really well cared forwriteroxie wrote:this source went last night for just under $700. a good price even if it has one ugly key. worth the discount in my opinion.

i doubt it.gd wrote:I think the new Moog will generate even more interest in The Source with the comparison btn the two.
why pay so much for a source when you could get this new synth for only a little more which it will be:
more reliable, with warrenty
more stable, with the voyagers ultra stable VCOs
more knobs, with LEDs
but the source does have a much cooler name so....

ya know... i never really noticed that the square wave was adjustable on the source, until i noticed the square waves' "quality" knob on the Sonic Six and then I quickly realized that this was likely also an option on my Source. I never really noticed the special color-coding on the source. (all yellow buttons are tweakable with the knob... duh!) So anyway, my source just got even cooler. weeeeeeee
2 more just sold this week for $1k US so their prices are holding. I just sold off another kbd to pair my home studio down and will clear out more of my main studio later this year. The Boss (my wife) told me that I still need to free up more room and $ in order to buy any new gear. Well the Voyager, Mini D will definately stay as far as Moogs are concerned but my Source maybe forced to the trading block at some point. :cry: Just sold some of my old Juno's, Obies that just were no longer getting any useage and all the Emu gear is now gone as well. I cannot see the new LP making its way into my studio as I'd rather keep the Source.
