All of th...Our Mini proto model D is NOT a model C. All of the model C's were perf board constructions. NO PCBs inside at all. We have a model C sitting right next to it for comparison and the differences are huge. In fact the ONLY thing that gives any credence whatsoever to the Moog Archives deduction is a photo of this instrument with "Minimoog C" written in pencil on the back of the photo. Well here's one for you: The model "B" has an inscribed PLATE on the back of it calling IT a model "C". We've had these instruments in the Audities collection for 13 years now. We've played them, researched and documented them thoroughly in that time with Jim Scott, Bob Moog, Bill Hemsath, Chad Hunt, Richie Walbourne and against the documentation in the archives here. The Model D prototype was given to Chris Swansen in 1970 for demo work that he did for Moog (he was Bob's favorite tester) and the instrument remained with Chris' widow until it's inclusion in the Audities Foundation collection in 1997.<br /><br />Again, it's NOT production 1001 and was never CLAIMED to be. All of the Moog engineers that worked on the Minis say the FOUR model C's were Perf Board constructions. This instrument has early PCBs. The model C has no fuse holders in the back. The model C has no power light. The model C has plastic connection plates glued to the back of the instrument...on and on go the differences. The construction of this Model D prototype has very little to do with the Model C testbed units. It's simply a prototype D that was extensively tested before the first 30 wheel control production D units were built. <br /><br />David Kean<br />The Audities Foundation<br />12-1-2010Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05020516736876970887noreply@blogger.com
