"This synth has been stripped down to the bare metal and wood and painstakingly reassembled and cleaned. All of the capacitors on every circuit board have been replaced and the keyboard disassembled , grommets replaced mechanism lived and cleaned. The label overlay on the panel is new, the logo plates are original. This unit has a pedigree of sorts, as it was purchased about 20 years ago at auction from Disney, where it had been used , predominately in the tommorow land terrace."
Note the listing does not mention Michael Iceberg, but he did perform regularly at Disneylan's Tomorrow Land in the 1970s so I'm curious if it's his. Don't miss this post for videos. I remember seeing him perform as a kid. Update via @NilsWarren
"This is a few years after the fact, but I am the seller of that Minimoog, from2012.. It did come from Disney world,. I bought it in 1992 at auction, but , it was not Michaels. His had the keyboard removed , and was used as a slave to the CV /Gate on prophet5.
I still have the original front panel label skin from that minimoog. I replaced it with a new retrofit. The old one had shrunk and warped too much to look right. I stripped that thing down, and rebuilt . The signatures inside were factory guys from 1977."
