Moog does sell B Stock stuff. Perhaps a dealer is not forthcoming about this.

Mine is the same way.
The buttons themself feel fine though.
Back before the days of internet... did musicians care if the knobs of their Moogs were not build by aztec aliens?
Once upon a time, musicains who shared the intrests that draw some of us here were used to the smell of lead solder and contact cleaner.

God bless Moog.

I only noticed my buttons were not "perfect" when I ran my fingers across them. As long as they don't get too recessed I will be fine. Even in the light its hard to tell.

The only problem I ever had with my Select Voyager was that Bank E was corrupt when I got it. Amos hooked me up quickly and all was remedied. The keyscan board needed replacing but they mailed me one pronto with good instrustions and I performed the surgery myself (turned screws for the most part).


AH,
Were you watching the same thing I was watching on the history channel about Indiana Jones?


Oh, and the new Moog smell.............Ahhhh truly a wonderful scent to behold!



I don't see how people can think that Moog is on its way down? They survived this economic crash and came out of the recession by probably tripling their factory size!

Yall won't be cryin when the polybird gets to flyin. (jeez did i type that)

That is how mine is as well. Nothing would be visiable in a picture.
I even pushed on them somewhat hard and they are solid.
