We are Brokering this vintage instrument for and on behalf of our UK client.<\/p>\n
Came into stock:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n January 2022.<\/p>\n Service Status:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A full health check by KSR was carried out in December 2021, and a full service will be carried out post-sale.<\/p>\n Remarks:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n A genre of instrument reserved for only a few who can pull off looking cool on stage, but a few did. Moog came out with the liberation at the turn of the 1980s with something actually quite beautiful.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s heavy, yes, but it\u2019s got the Moog Rogue synth architecture, so sounds very Moog and punchy. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These are very rare machines in 2022, and finding one that\u2019s not been \u2018restored\u2019 in some way or another is even rarer, so we\u2019d call this example a \u2018survivor\u2019 that\u2019s 100% original in every detail.<\/p>\n Background:<\/b><\/p>\n Our client, the owner of this Liberation, has owned it for over 30 years and purchased them as he was simply a fan of the instrument and the association for the music they were played on back in the day.\u00a0 <\/span>The owner is not a professional musician, so the Moog has been kept in his home this last 3 decades and appreciated and admired as a unique piece of music instrument history.<\/p>\n Condition:<\/b><\/p>\n The cosmetic condition of both the keytar and the external interface (PSU & CV\/Trigger hub) is very good, so we would rate both units as 8\/10. The inherent problem with trying to keep a lacquered black surface on the keytar in good condition is always challenging, but we\u2019d say the ‘cabinet\u2019\u00a0 <\/span>has weathered the last 40+ years really very well indeed.\u00a0 <\/span>You can see from our pictures that the surface is in good order, with only one noticeable crack in the lacquer near the neck, but it\u2019s not structural.\u00a0 <\/span>The lacquered can of course be restored if needed, but we feel the value in this vintage instrument is in its originality, so best left as is.<\/p>\n All the original controls, slider-caps, knobs are intact and everything still looks fresh and bright.\u00a0 <\/span>The interconnect cables are all present and in good condition, and looking at all the components of this instrument as a whole, you can easily see it has never been used outside the home environment since new. It\u2019s a super condition example that would make anyone a proud owner.<\/p>\n Health-Check & Servicing:<\/b><\/p>\n As mentioned above, this Liberation has been through the hands of Kent at KSR back in December 2021, so he has gone through the entire operation of both the keytar & interface to check their readiness for sale.\u00a0 <\/span>Aside from some cleaning of the pots and sliders, and the key contacts, the Liberation\u00a0is in very good operational condition.\u00a0 <\/span>We will have the PSU re-capped, a final clean and calibration covered off in the post-sale service, so please allow at least 2 weeks delay once the Moog is sold before we can effect a hand-over to the new owner, or shipping it etc.<\/p>\n This Moog Liberation operates on EU220V, we will supply a UK 3-Pin plug type IEC cable.<\/p>\n Packing, Shipping, Insurance and Warranty:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n We can ship this instrument worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation.\u00a0 <\/span>There may be some short delays in getting the packaging materials produced for shipping as they are custom ordered for the specific dimensions of each instrument.\u00a0 <\/span>We are happy to discuss your requirements so please email us if you have any questions on the logistics and\/or need a quote.<\/p>\n As the instrument is being Brokered through RL Music, it will be sold with a full 3-month (return-to-dealer) warranty, covering all parts and labour.<\/p>\n Sales Price:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a33,390 GBP<\/p>\n As this is a brokered sale, VAT is not applicable to UK buyers, however, the packing & shipping costs are subject to VAT @ 20%, should you need the goods shipped to you.\u00a0 <\/span>The Taurus 1 can be available for collection from us directly in the South of England (Reading, Berkshire).<\/p>\n Availability:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This Moog Liberation is now SOLD.
