Opto-Key
Opto-Key MIDI $595. This adds MIDI-In and MIDI-Out to Opto-Key and supports Note-On and Note-Off.
MIDI connection is via a cable which hangs out of the case
rear that is terminated with quality 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors. Internally
it plugs into the keyboard Cinch-Jones connector in place of the original
key contact strip. No drilling, soldering, or case modification is required.
Opto-Key non-MIDI $495
Opto-Key Shipping Worldwide shipping for Opto-key is via USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box. Priority Mail is
less than $24 for the USA, and they charge $74 for most non-US countries shipped to. Canada is currently $53.
Note that we will not lie on insurance,
duty, import, VAT or customs forms. We are not responsible for any customs
fees or taxes a buyer may be charged by their country. Do not buy if you cannot afford such possible charges as we cannot estimate them beforehand.
Payment is by PayPal only to a PayPal verified address.
Installation by me Newish bushings are required per
Opto-key install doc. I will strip the key-deck, remove the old key
contact assembly (returned to customer if wanted), remove old bushings if
new ones are to be fitted (new bushings are an extra $42), clean the
key-deck, align key posts, install and align Opto-key, hand-clean and
refit keys, then test. There is a standard charge of 3 hours ($60/hr) for
this so $180, or $222 with new bushings supplied. Note that the MiniMoog
has to be tuned and scaled afterwards as the CV is now more accurate than
before. You can send me your key-deck for this work to be carried out and
then the shipping charge becomes the cost of shipping it back to you.
MiniMoog Restoration Items
Replacement Cases
This Old Synth is proud to be able to offer these beautiful handcrafted cases that are made
in the USA by a professional woodworker. An early original case was disassembled and a
replacement made that is both stronger and fits perfectly. Other replacement cases
were looked
at and design shortcuts observed that were incorrect in size, and badly jointed. This case does not
suffer from any such shortcuts!
The
standard finish is Early American, which is the closest off the shelf
finish to an early MiniMoog. I also have a natural finished one.
Introductory price for these is: $399
A custom finish and/or exotic wood can be quoted for on a case built to
order. Price will depend on the finish and chosen wood. Please contact me with your requirements.
Some folks want to keep everything as vintage as possible but have a structurally damaged (i.e. dropped!) case.
I took a severely damaged case that was in scrap condition to my case-maker and he has restored it with minimal
outer case wood replacement,
such that it still has the look and feel of the original. It has been strengthened beneath the surface, so is sturdier than when
it was new.
This is available for sale for $499.99, but we would encourage you to exchange your old case into the program here such that it can be
restored for another customer. A discount would therefore be offered for the old case. It is also possible for us to restore your existing case of course,
but it probably makes more sense for you to send your MiniMoog to me for stripping and rebuild. Pictures of the restored case can
be provided (I have it in my workshop if you are local).
Shipping will be calculated based on destination so the standard $6
shipping rate does not apply to this item.
Installation by me If you send me your MiniMoog I can install it into the new case for 3
hours labor (currently $60/hr). Extra work required on your MiniMoog can
of course be performed whilst it is here at an extra charge. Contact me
for an estimate.
KEYS
SCI Pro-One (J-wire)
- These are fragile and rare keys (the skinny actuating post commonly
breaks, but may be repairable so do not throw your old ones away!), and I
came across a set so I'm offering them for sale so we can get keyboards
that have been waiting for these going again. These do NOT fit the
membrane keyboard, and I do not know of anyone that can fix the membrane
types. These are used, hand cleaned, and in good condition.
Note that some other keyboards use these (I have seen them in PIAI synths
such as the Proteus, and the Oberheim OB-1); you need to make sure it is the right one before
ordering though!
