Lovely, thank you, sir

Jareth, this is one of the most beautifully haunting compositions I have ever heard you are just as amazing as a musician As You Are a brilliant technician! You would fit right in with The Moody Blues if they went back on tour and this to me sounds like their next hit that they never wrote. Awesome!

Thanks, excellent video.

Thanks for another great vid. Always makes me miss my stolen MM+, SN1119.

One of your best videos, thank you for the insights. And the time you invest in it. It would be wonderful if you could present more of your patch ideas! ❤

Another great video, Jareth.!!!

sounds amazing man, great job as always

Oh god that filter. Thanks for keeping these grand old synths alive.

instant 80s soundtrack sound ... only need THAT synth

Чудова робота, так тримати!

Enjoyed your demo. It showed what the MG1 is capable of. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that looks like it just came out of the factory. A labor of love for sure! ❤ Never trust an old purple cap!

I wish you were close by, I need to fix my voyager.

I just acquired an early M3... Could you make this wire harness for me? I will certainly renumerate you fairly.

All I hear is human after all…

Jareth is a very kind and helpful person and a wealth of knowledge on moogs

Great job as per usual Jareth! 👍

The Transformers for each Wheel perfom 3 functions: Impedance match the Pick Up Coils to the Outputs, step the Low Voltage/High Current of the Pick Up Coils to a Higher Voltage/Lower Current to the Draw Bars for better mixing of the signals, and they filter out high frequency noise. The Capacitor and Resistor on the Transformers I beleive are Low Cutoff High Pass Filters to reduce the 'click' sounds from the key contacts. I need to see a schematic to be sure.

You can see each compartment has two tone wheels. They are grouped in 4 compartments (2 on the forward side and 2 on the rear side). There are 48 compartments in all, 24 compartments across so since they are in pairs per side, that is 12 notes of an octave across the whole wheel set. Starting from the left 4 compartments, I assume this is C (and since it has 4 compartments of two wheels each) that is 8 different pitches which correllate to the 9 "pipe lengths" of the slide bars (1 length uses a wheel in another compartment as a harmonic). The next four compartments are for C# and have the same 8 wheel sizes but are geared one semi-tone faster. All the way to the B compartments which too have the same wheel sizes but are geared 11 semi-tones faster than the C wheels. In each compartment you can see a wheel with just a few big lobes and one with a lot on tiny lobes next to it. Because these pickups are near each other, Hammond put a longer pipe (lower pitch) length (few lobe wheel) next to a shorter pipe (higher pitch) length (many lobe wheel) in the same compartment to reduce some of the crosstalk between the pickups. Because the lower pitch and higher pitch wheels are a few octaves apart, it's harder to hear the crosstalk. On this organ, 8 wheels are for (I assume) pipe lengths: 16' 5-1/3' 8' 4' 2-2/3' 2' 1-3/5' 1'. The 1-1/3' tone may come from a wheel in an compartment set used as a harmonic. The keys start each 12 note octave on: C2, C3, C4, and C5 on two Manuals (keyboards). So if you select the 16' pipes (the lowest frequency set) and play C2, this is the lowest pitch possible and thus the lowest lobe is selected in the C compartments. If C3 is played (one octave higher) then the wheel is selected with twice as many lobes in the C compartments than that was used for the C2 tone at the 16' length.

Jareth, you got that synth working beautifully. The oscillator scaling is bang on in all registers. Sounding great!

Amazing Demo, Great Job...!

Great restoration and demo, Jareth.!!!

Wonderful playing and sounds!

Fantastic.... 🙂

Makes me want to swap out my Mini for a Multi!

Ive said it before.... Keep saving them. Please. Do you know if the old moogs have the plastic film on the aluminium disks on the knobs? All the new ones do, and i tell everyone to peel it off. Its part of manufacture.

Beautiful Moog

Good job

Great video,Jareth!Makes me wish I had my 'Micro-Moog' up and running!

Winwood's solo in "When You See a Chance" was apparently with a multimoog.

I have a beautiful nminimoog, but how could I please find out it's age?

This would be great for a big beefy synth bass

Yeah, no kidding, they're virtually identical. The only way we could own a Moog for under 2K I suppose. I was salivating over it for quite some time, however, the lack of hardwired patch points always seemed to be one of the deal breakers for me, because I don't feel comfortable re-wiring it myself, especially when this would void warranty should something go wrong in the future.

Does anyone know why after I updated to the latest software version my oscillator 1 fades away after I turn the pitch knob ?

Wow you certainly know these machines! If I were in the States I would be bringing you mine for sure!

The spring looks like a tuning fork looks like the Yamaha logo :-) Great video best !!!

Foam that turns to grease, just like a rubber belt? 😨 I'd definitely take foam that turns to dust any day...

Any possibility of replacing the keybed with a more modern one? I love this synth but I HATE the keybed...so dead and cheap feeling

Crazy how someone actually invented this for mass distribution…

Thank you, Jareth. Your videos are of canonical importance when maintaining these beasts. :)

Hey there thanks for your great videos! I have a Solina that i bought as broken to fix up - it powers up but no sounds at all from either output. I noticed the expression pedal jack is missing and the wires are just hanging inside - 20v supply grey wire and white shielded wire that goes to the registry board. Im wondering if this is making it silent so want to re-install a TRS jack for the exp pedal- do you know which wires go to which terminals on the jack? Any help greatly appreciated and thanks again for the vids! Cheers, Dan

Jareth, have you considered sending one of the 8870 polycom chips to a decapper (e.g. John D. McMaster) to be decapped and photographed? (so they can be rev-enged and potential replacements made?)

Jareth, another great job! I feel like I am on repeat, but it is truth.

brilliant work just vvundervval!

Hey bro. Great job looks and sounds loveley. Thank you for keeping synths alive. 🎚🎛👍

Another awesome job, Jareth.!!!
