Minimoog Model D Complete Keybed Restoration of Vintage Moog Synthesizer
This 1974 Minimoog Model D had a broken key along with a completely unusable keybed when it came by the shop. I filmed the entirety of this tedious process for the benefit of anyone looking to rebuild a keybed on a vintage synth. Hopefully it will give you an idea of an organized workflow that will help you get the project done so you can get back to playing!
There are a number of sites still providing parts to service your keybed. I used Syntar and Rosin Sound for the various supplies needed.
At a minimum you'll need bushings and lubricant. I also had a broken key to replace.
Be aware that there are different keysprings for black and white keys. I had a box for each so they didn't get mixed up. Also, you'll need to reinstall the black keys before you install the white ones.
I didn't use a special tool to adjust the key height. Just a pair of needle nose pliers. Do this carefully and you'll be fine. You'll see I did use a straight edge ruler to level the keybed. I set the outside key heights and worked everything in between with the straight edge and pliers.
If a key is sticking due to the old lubricant that's gotten crusty, you can clean the metal key way with WD40 and also insert a flat-head screwdriver in the underside of the key to widen the gap.
This whole job takes a big work surface and patience but it is doable.
I used hand sanitizer to clean the dirty keybed (with a toothbrush), Simple Green to clean the keys, and followed the whole thing up with The Natchez Solution which is a conditioner/polish that really brings back surfaces that have been neglected. Love that stuff!!

Thanks for watching! I am NOT a keyboard player so be forewarned! It's not often that you'll find a Minimoog in the wild so I thought I'd share what one looks and sounds like. I’ve had this vintage '74 Model D Minimoog on the bench all week and in addition to rebuilding the keybed and bushings I replaced all the electrolytic caps, and performed the Moog factory pitchweel update.

The Terrible Truth About Shipping Tube Amps
Переглядів 1 тис.Рік тому
After over a decade of shipping tube amps all around the world this is my preferred method of packing and shipping. If you are shipping a repair, take the chassis out of the cabinet and send it off. No need to ship a big heavy cabinet if you don’t have to. Any packages need to be inspected upon arrival and any damage needs to be documented right away. Sometimes processing through customs involv...

      Different models are worth different amounts. Condition is a factor. Without an organ to connect and test it you wont be able to get as much as you could. There’s a tag on the bag that says the model # if you decide to list it on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.

    The paper will be too heavy if you fill too much. It is better use low density sponge (EVA) to fill into the cabinet of amp. Other, it is better to plug out the tubes during you shipping it.

    Tolex is vinyl, which is highly toxic, especially when heated and in the form of micro particles. So heating up vinyl with a heat pistol and scratching it off is a very bad idea, health-wise

    The outside 22ish degree can be done without slitting the edge face. Lap your corners ans then do 1 cut for perfect seams. Respectfully, change or ditch the gloves after glueup. That was painful and awkward to watch.

      I'd iron it from the backside using steam and if it is real tweed (not vinyl) high heat. It should lay out fine if you take your time and do that. Without steam it is likely that those creases will still be there and then look bad when you shellac it. Hope that helps!
