That is cheap, yo!
A friend of mine contacted a friend from college. His parents have an unused original MOOG in their basement. They once said that they'd be happy if someone picked it up. They'd give it away for free. It's a MOOG with a huge switchboard. One of the early ones. My record collecting friend wants to pick it up. Although he's after one of the little ones. Like the one in your picture. They're very expensive over here. He has seen one of the kind you got for over 1000 Euros. He collects weird organs and synths. Recently bought a Tiger organ by Eko.
Hope to hear some beat of yours with MOOG soon.
Polyphony on a moog is $$$$$
Congrats!
Realistic is Radio Shack's own brand.
still it's probably fucking great anyway, my first walkman was Realistic & it was the loudest thing i've ever had to stick in my ears & i've got a 5 channel mixer with eq & echo box by them too... i never knew they did a minimoog knock off too. ah well something else to add to the list
"I guess you could call this a "poor man's Moog." Realistic is the brand printed on this synth's exterior, but the circuit design was done in the late 1970s by folks affiliated with Moog Music (I understand it was primarily/entirely Paul Schreiber, now with SynthTech). Its Radio Shack Tandyness shines through, though, with odd "friendlier" labels on the controls (contour instead of envelope generator, tone source instead of oscillator and so on.) Still, people looking for a Moog sound have flocked to the MG1 as a low-cost alternative to a Moog Music synth. Ironically, they are presently fetching as used gear on ebay nearly as much as they sold for new."
"The ConcertMate MG-1 is an analog synthesizer built as a collaboration between Tandy and the original Moog Music, Inc and marketed by Radio Shack under the Realistic brand in the early 80's. Despite its being sold through The Shack, the MG-1 is all Moog. It even has the famous Moog ladder filter, making the sound unmistakably MOOG!"
The bass that this thing kicks out is SO RICO BONER.....
Fucking dope!!!
yeah, Moog used to do this type of stuff. Many years ago I found this monster organ for my friend - one of those old woman/xian private press organ recital things. Must have weighed 2 tons! Anyhow, the upper keyboard was a Moog - built by Moog. That thing was off the fuckin' hook. Crazy! Anyhow, yeah, Moog had all sorts of weird deals like that.
Shake of the haters! That's a dope find!
thats funny! nice score dude! if the bass is bumping and the speakers are squelching, your cyphers complete
Bought a Fender Rhodes for $275 and sold it for $525 last year.
HAHAHAHAHAHA... I LOVE IT...
You'll have to use the Stairmaster and the Bowflex in the meantime.....
They make Keyboard amps. Or, I know people who use bass amps, which are probably better than guitar amps for a synth...
Nice one. I bought mine at a pawn shop in 1994 for $85.
Anyway, it's good to know me and Dizzy are powerballing on both coasts as usual. Mind the velvet rope, lads.
Old-school modular with the jacks totally 's the little minimoog...
YO! I think we where PMing back and forth about that! dam....you said a lot of the keys where missing or something.
YOUNG PHONIKS WAS TRYING TO GET HIS JOHN LEGEND ON!
