I got what I think is a reasonably good deal on a MinitMoog, only $234 plus shipping. I actually thought I was going to be out bid, and financially that might of been preferable at this time!
Ever since high school I've wanted one even though I had NEVER played one! I used to stare at one in a local music store and I mildly brainwashed myself into obsession about it. (that same store also had a black ovation Breadwinner electronic guitar that i also must have before I die . . . and I don't even really play guitar!
)It was sort of a risk since the ad said it would NOT power up but . . . power supplies, especially in older stuff can be quite simple. Turns out the heavens wanted to give me a Christmas present! When I unpacked it I decided to try it and the powerr light came on!
So I frantically found a cable to plug into a mixer and some headphones and it made sound!!! 
The keyboard only worked for about the top octave and the sound was always 'on'. Then I noticed that if I held down the key below where it stopped working correctly, all the rest of the keys seemed to work. I figured it out today, just the j-wire from that key was popped to the oposite side of the buss wire and always in contact with it unless the key was pressed. I popped it back and all is well!
I just need to hunt down a few knobs. The touch sensitivity is dead of course. I've read that replacement parts don't even exist for that so I may find a center detent pot and replace the touch control with a sort of pitch bend control.
And yeah, that is some scary poor construction inside! I guess it has survived over 30 years so maybe I shouldn't complain but . . . I'll have to take a picture or two of how some of the transistors were installed and post them for the forum . . . it will give some of you nightmares!
And yeah, over all it sounds pretty thin and the 'different' presets aren't very different from each other but turning on the SYNCH and then playing with the oscillator B pitch control while playing can be very expressive and sound great!
