Minimoog Model D 1970's Analogue Vintage Monophonic Synthesiser

This analogue classic can be heard all over massive tracks and various genres of music. From Kraftwek and Michael Jackson to Nine Inch Nails and Dr. Dre, the sound of the Minimoog has spanned musical genres and decades, even until this very day!  First released in 1970, it was one of the first synthesisers to include a keyboard and the first to be sold in retail stores. It gave musicians the ability to step up to the instrument and start composing instead of figuring out the complex world of modular synths. The Model D, truely is an exceptional piece of synth history.

More notable artists who used the Minimoog Model D include: Herbie Hancock, Paul McCartney, Prince, Sting, Kevin Parker, Blondie, The Chemical Brothers, 2pac, Liam Howlett, Mark Pritchard, Lorde, Gyote, Mac DeMarco, Eddie Van Halen, Brian Eno, Tyler The Creator, Jean-Michel Jarre, Underworld, Mac Miller, Pink Floyd, The Weeknd, Gary Numan, Jimmy Edgar, Flight Facilities, Sun Ra and too many more! 

This sale is for an original 1970's Minimoog Model D. It was signed off on during 1974. The serial number is 5392. Please read the condition description for details of the modifications made by a previous owner, and the recent service performed on this Moog. 


Condition:

  • This is a used unit. 

  • Physically this unit is in great condition for a synth of this age. There is some general wear like some small and larger chips and nicks in the wooden case. The switch cap colours have started to fade. The keys have started to turn a very light cream colour. All original text is clear and legible. Some of the text from the modifications has started to wear. Overall this is still a very nice, vintage piece. There is nothing which detracts from the use or sound of this beautiful piece.  

  • This unit is 'first generation' model, serial number 5392. However it has been updated with a number of desirable later features. This includes:
  1. The latest oscillator board has been installed, resulting in far more stable oscillator tuning.

  2. Octave buffer board installed which helps with tighter octave switching and does not load the other oscillators.
     
  3. Trim pots on oscillator board have been upgraded to a more modern kind to improve reliability. 

  4. S trig input jack has been swapped to a to ¼ jack which makes it much easier to interface with other gear
     
  5. Pitch wheel deadband upgrade which improves stability by adding an electronic zero point on the pitch wheel to reduce drift caused by minute movements of the bender wheel. 
  • This Model D is 100% functional. All rotary pots, mod wheels and switches are working as they should.  

  • This Moog has had some modifications installed. These are:
  1. OSC sync 1 to 2, via front panel toggle switch. 

  2. Sample and hold generator circuit added. Sources from noise or external input, which has it's own jack. Sample and hold sources can be mixed via front panel knobs and then also amount knobs to apply to either VCO or filter 

  3. Trigger selection switch on the front panel for either single or multiple. 

  4. Ring modulator mix knob. Works but is somewhat subtle. 

  5. External inputs for sample and hold & CV I/O 
  • This Minimoog Model D has recently come from a service. This included but is not limited to:

    • The whole synthesiser was disassembled and cleaned.

    • The key action was calibrated. All key contact springs and bus bars have been polished and treated. 

    • The timber case has been thoroughly cleaned, lightly polished and waxed. 

    • All circuits have been inspected and tested. Any functional issues and faulty components were replaced.

    • All electrolytic capacitors have been replaced.

    • All rotary potentiometers, switches and jacks have been cleaned and deoxidised. 

    • Full calibration of circuits and oscillators according to factory specifications.

    • This unit has been burnt in and tested since this service. It sounds great! 

  • This unit is 115-230V. This means it can be used nearly anywhere in the world with a flick of a switch on the back. You MUST ensure the switch is set to the correct position for your country before powering on this unit. This unit has a mains cable with an Australian plug end. International buyers will need a licensed technician to change the plug end for them. 

  • This beauty sounds great! 

  • Please be aware due to the vintage and fragile nature of the MiniMoog, it is possible that the tuning will shift during the shipping process. It is recommended that you take it to a local technician to give it a quick tune up before installation, it would be even better if you could get someone to tune on site.

  • This unit will have a one year back to base warranty. The customer is responsible for getting the unit to and from Lofi Music. Repairs will be free of charge. Please note the warranty does not cover drops, spills or misuse. After the warranty expires we will offer support and discounted servicing on this Minimoog Model D.

"Don't Practice on Your Significant Other"
Format: Kindle
This book's authors have many years of experience interviewing CIA assets, CIA employees, and a variety of ordinary people in non-CIA settings. Their specialty is in determining when someone is lying. And they are good at it. This skill in detecting deception has done a lot of good, helping their clients make better decisions about hiring the right new employee, trusting the right baby sitter, and prosecuting the person who really "did it." Sometimes the skills bring pain, making clear that the waiting doctor's politeness covers bad news or that a spouse isn't really joking about "her boyfriend." Still, it's better to know, isn't it? Detecting deception isn't magic and it isn't infallible. But it is possible to become better at it than most of us are now. The book identifies several barriers to accurately detecting deception. We expect most people to tell the truth, we ask the wrong questions, and we look for the wrong "tells" in other people's behavior. And we try to watch everything they do instead of focusing on a small number of reliable indicators. Such reliable indicators of deception include certain kinds of verbal hesitations and evasions as well as specific body movements of which a deceiver is largely unaware. Readers learn to ask questions that require different mental processing from guilty versus innocent suspects. One technique is to ask questions a good guy will answer with an immediate--and perhaps angry--"No!" while the bad guy will need to give a longer, more carefully worded response. We watch for deception indicators that begin in the first five seconds after a question. And we look for clusters of indicators rather than for single actions. There is more to it, of course, but this is the core methodology the book presents. It's good stuff. And it's learnable. I attended a training session conducted by the authors' company (QVerity, in partnership with hemsleyfraser) this week. I had listened to roughly three-quarters of the audiobook during a long car ride the day before. Based on what I learned from the book I was able to do well in the video pre-test, successfully distinguishing a lying suspect from the four who told the truth. Almost everyone was also able to do this after two hours of training. So it seems to me that the book is nearly as valuable as being taught these skills by the authors themselves. It is a well-written, fascinating book on a very useful topic. I highly recommend it. A final comment. The book closes with a warning to use these skills only for good. And to not practice them on our significant others. Apparently catching your spouse in all of those little white lies can put unnecessary stress on the relationship. I may have made a variation of this error by giving my wife a copy of the book and inviting her along to the training. Not sure that was such a good idea. We'll see.

My honest review of the book . Spy The Lie
Format: Paperback
Spy the Lie" by Philip Houston is a practical and fascinating guide that teaches you how to spot deception using the same proven techniques developed by the CIA. Instead of looking for unreliable body language "clues," it focuses on identifying specific verbal and non-verbal behaviors that people show when they are feeling the stress of a lie. It’s written in very clear, everyday language with plenty of real-world examples, making it a great tool for anyone who wants to communicate more effectively and know who they can really trust.

A must have for, among others, clinical physicians and -especially- mental health experts
Format: Paperback
Very good book. The authors state in a clear and unambiguous way several "tips" that may help us detect deceptive behaviors. They repeat the points, making them easier to "stick". What's interesting is how simple they appear in their application; we are not talking about mathematical topology...The glossary completes admirably the book. Would I read it again? Definitively (a quality "seal" for me). As a physician (psychiatrist) I would definitively suggest it to all physicians that perform clinical work, but, above all, to psychiatrists...

Deception Detection Primer
This book is well written and is perfect for the newbie like me to grasp the concepts: easy to follow, logically structured, points explained well and with examples, points tied together so you understand how they fit. A few reviewers think the points in the book are obvious. Many of them are, but I think the easy-to-follow writing makes the points seem even more obvious. Superficially, and taken separately, many of these ideas do seem obvious. The hard part is coming to an accurate conclusion about deception. One reason is because many deception indicators can be false positives. For example, a commonly-believed indicator of deception is crossing your arms. How do you tell if a specific instance of this behavior is a deception indicator or not? The book gives a framework for when deception indicators are, at that moment, an indicator of deception. Another reason is that verbal indicators of deception can be missed or misunderstood. The book goes into excellent detail about how to recognize verbal indicators and to tell when a verbal indicator is, in fact, likely to be deception. One of the better parts of the book, in my opinion, discussed the initial interrogation of OJ Simpson before his murder trial. They run through the questions that the detectives asked and explained how and why these questions did not work in eliciting possible deception. They then ran through the questions they would ask, following the model in the book, and explained how these questions would have been more effective. The book stresses the limits of these ideas. You will not read this book and become a human lie detector. Being really good at spotting the lies AND directing an interview to extract those lies takes, I'm sure, lots of practice. However, you CAN gain insights and be better at deception detection just from reading this book. For example, when you watch a suspect interviewed on a news show like Dateline NBC, you'll spot the verbal cues that indicate possible deception, and you'll never watch these shows in quite the same way. Prior to reading this book, I read "I Know You Are Lying" by McClish. Both books cover a lot of the same material, but from slightly different perspectives. I highly recommend both books if you're interested in this topic. I recommend reading "Spy the Lie" first, as it seems to give a more complete framework for implementing these ideas, then read the McClish book for additional insights.

Great for recruiters & business owners
Format: Kindle
This is long but it I am so grateful and want to give my recent triumph with the help of this book....I currently own a medical spa. Our biggest challenge is hiring hard working, honest people, passionate about the business. Statistically we are average with the number of good hires but that is not a good thing when statistics say only 51% last more than 12 mos. Especially for lower level jobs being less. Many people just want a paycheck or want free services and could care less about helping customers and learning about aesthetics or medicine. Within the first few chapters I had already found ways of asking questions in interviews that when applied were astounding in getting the right response. A good example was when I was interviewing a woman whom I felt had amazing qualifications for my Front Desk Manager’s position. She had owned her own pet salon for over 17 years but sold it and went to work for Pet Smart. I thought that seemed a little strange so asked her why? She naturally had a response that she wanted to move to Texas, originally being from Wisconsin which was horribly cold and owning a business was just too stressful. I wanted to know more as this didn’t seem like the mentality of a successful business owner so I asked her what kind of paycheck she wrote herself each year. Her response was “my gross income last year was $80k, which I am so proud of.” 1) She did not answer the question. 2) “which I am proud of.” Is used to further convince me she was making good money.” Luckily as a business owner I know it probably takes at least $80.K just to run a business. But this was not enough for me to disqualify her and author Russell Targ says just 1 red flag is not enough, so after a few more positive type questions I asked another. ‘Tell me about a time you didn’t get along with a co-worker’. I’m paraphrasing because she gave an overly long explanation of events which in-and of itself is a red flag but within the overly verbose statement She stated “they get annoyed with me” but didn’t tell me what “they” get annoyed with. When I asked what ‘they get annoyed with’ she minimized a situation where she had the flu 4 days and the next day she went to an already committed dentist appointment to get her tooth pulled and was in too much pain so again had to call in sick. I was a bit suspicious at this point as to why her boss would be annoyed with this if she was such a great employee since both those explanations seemed reasonable. So I later in the interview snuck in an “assumptive question” about her being late to which she confessed several additional times having been late but of course had plausible excuses. I was even more suspicious at this point about her integrity as an employee so asked the question a different way, ‘tell me a time you had a challenging client’ to which she told me another very verbose story about “a client who brought in a badly matted dog and when after shaving it had lots of bruising etc. the lady gave a terrible rating.” I tried not to sound judgmental so I commiserated with her on that as a business owner how awful that must have felt. We exchanged some giggles and at this point I felt she really was ready to open up to me. I then asked her to ‘describe a bad day at work’ where she gave another story with many excuses why where she had ripped a dog’s ear by accident, the police and media was called accusing her of animal abuse, she was taken to court and her name was smeared in this small town which was hard to recover from.😳 Now I am a bit alarmed but the old me is wanting to believe her that it wasn’t her fault so Finally, I wrapped up after many other positive exchanges I asked ‘if I were to call her employer what derogatory things might they say about her’ to which she replied “they don’t like the way I do things which of course with further questioning her reply was to minimize all of their complaints.” Now, here is where I used to get tripped up. I usually have a phone interview that lasts about an hour or more before setting up face-to-face interview and that is how this one was. I as usual wanting to believe the best in everybody was mostly paying attention to the many positive and outstanding things she had to say and want to believe her excuses so immediately set up a face-to-face interview. But this time I did something differently after hanging up with her. I paid really close attention to the “cluster” of suspicious things she mentioned and by then it hit me like a ton of bricks. In every bad hire I have ever made they had answers like this woman where they minimized, evaded the questions, or had great excuses. Now while we all have great excuses from time to time the book says to pay attention to multiples. Needless to say I politely cancelled the interview. After reading this book the signs were as clear as day. I am happy to say I am now able to cut my phone interviews down to just 20-30 minutes even shorter when I see these “cluster” as the hook puts it.
