This vintage Moog Sonic Six Suitcase Analog Synthesizer powers on and makes sound, but is being offered as-is at a discount due to cosmetic and functional issues.  The A, X, and Y oscillators and the Moog Ladder filter appear to be working.  This can be a great opportunity for someone willing to put a little work in to get this rare synthesizer below market.  The synth is being sold  as-is for parts or repair, with no returns. Issues I noticed (you may find other issues, but the synthesizer is still being sold as-is with no returns): Cosmetic: A power cord has been hardwired to this unit in place of the power inlet.  The exterior of the case is in rough looking condition and some screws are missing and things feel loose.  The synthesizer is missing all knobs and switch caps.  Some of the keys are stained.    2 rubber feet are missing, so the case needs something behind it to stay open when in use. Functional:  Oscillator B appears to be dead.  The ring modulator appears to not be working (perhaps due to oscillator B not working, ring mod was not tested with external input).  Key contacts are dirty and not working well, bushings need to be replaced.  The contour generator appears to be broken.  The Contour/Pitch Control pot for the filter was replaced with a pot that doesn't extend fully through the panel, so you can't use it.  Pots, sliders and switches need cleaning.  Calibration needed.
