If I bid and happen to win would you be cool to box it strongly enough for me to have it picked up by a courier?

I would love to restore one of those, I am doing a major restore on my CS-80 this year, an equally big job, and I have a friend up here with another sick Polymoog, so I guess I could do both Moogs at the same time.

I will become spiteful and if it breaks down altogether I won't help you fix it.

Hi there,

Steve..I thought you may say that !

As usual, I don't have the room for something like that in my little workspace...but
it would be nice to use for a couple of weeks, before I sell it to you !!

Just don't turn it into a coffee table :(

I love the sound of these, but they are actually a divide-down keyboard like the Korg Poly800 or something?

Yep the moog is divide-down but the Poly-800, from what I've gathered is actually "paraphonic", ie it has 8 voices polyphony but only one filter shared by all of these voices. On a standard polysynth like a Jupiter-8 you have 8 voices with 8 separate filters to filter each voice.

...just realised this is the original "Polymoog" which is much more sought after (and has much more/better editiong options) than the more common, later "Polymoog Keyboard", I've heard these original Polymoogs are very rare now not least due to its particularly delicate/unreliable nature. An interesting oddity from the past.
