Restoring Minimoog #2182
Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2025 4:01 pm
I worked at Moog for starting in Sept of. 1980 and held several positions while there. As they were 'failing/downsizing' one last time, I bought this Minimoog which was used as a test fixture on the assembly line. It didn't including the case and keyboard. Don't know what it was used for but some sort of testing. I bought a case and keyboard for it, put it together then began installing the same modifications that I had done for a session player when I worked in Chicago.
Life intervened and I bought a road case for it and stuck it in my garage. After retiring and then a couple years, I decided to get it back in working order. It's going pretty well but I lost track of the schematic for a 'perf' board I added so have been reverse engineering that.
I wanted to join the forum and be able to post questions and also answer them if folks are interested.
I don't have a schematic for the rectifier but it doesn't have a silkscreen. It's similar to p/n 980-041183 B but it has a bunch of wires that come into the board but aren't shown on that schematic. Picture below.
