Moog Memorymoog Plus for sale. 

This unit's been meticulously overhauled with future-proofing measures, sparing no expense, unlike the typically half-assed jobs done by most other techs/sellers (if they even bother to service theirs). The refurbishing process required 37 hours of skilled vintage synth tech labor, plus parts costs. This work is very time consuming and costly and is reflected in our price.

Here's a list of the work we did on this unit:

-Cleaned unit inside and out.
-Rebuilt Power Supply for longevity: replaced all PS electrolytic capacitors, trimmers, rectifier diode, 4 power transistors.
-Replaced all electrolytic capacitors throughout unit for longevity.
-Replaced all VCO trimpots for ease of tuning and stability.
-Recalibrated.
-All pots cleaned and lubed.
-All switches cleaned and lubed.
-Display unit replaced with new one.
-Removed keys and contact board and cleaned contact board and rubber key contacts. 
-Cleaned cooling fan.
-Cleaned jacks
-Replaced nuts and washers
-Replaced 4051 ICs x8
-Oscillator 2 frequency pot was bent. Bought new replacement shaft but it needed modification, so we modified it and now it works great.  
-Chassis was bent (not reported by previous owner), so removed everything & fixed.
-Cooling fan holder was bent. Fixed. 
-Tested systematically multiple times, all tests passed.

The Memory Moog + has all the features of the original version, with the addition of MIDI. 


We posted a couple videos of another Memorymoog we sold in the past to our Youtube and Instagram (which you should follow!) and a couple people said this Memorymoog sounded “out of tune”. Here’s our reply:

“Out of tune suggests there’s a problem. There is no problem. All 18 oscillators tune exactly as they should. Any detuning you hear here is intentional - detuning oscillators creates a fatter and more interesting sound. We will shoot a video of this unit being systematically tested that will show all 18 oscillators tuned to the same pitch and resulting boring sound before it ships out and will keep it on hand until its buyer has acknowledged its working perfectly once it arrives at its new home”.

The oscillators in this first video are tuned more closely at 1:28:

Here's another video below, though we still needed to tweak the filter slightly when this one was shot- you probably won't notice it though. If you watch after the 3 minute mark, there’s less intentional detuning and pitch modulation. 

 Here are a couple videos of a Memorymoog we previously sold sounding fabulous:
