I worked for Warwick Electronics in 1974-1975. They made TV sets for Sears and Kmart, and owned Thomas Organ which owned the rights and manufactured the Moog Synthesizer.
My responsibilities were on the TV side, but think I saw the schematics once and I'm pretty sure it was a 100% analog design. No computers, beeps, or boops. Hammond was the one that used tonewheels to generate the frequencies and harmonics. Still no computers. Motors. Apparently now lots of things go bing-bing-bing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgwr9r36zIU -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Bill Prince Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2020 11:50 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Pint of water Probably wouldn't work today. The Moog was invented when the first computers were leaking the beeps and boops. Today's computers are so well shielded that it would have made the invention of the Moog Synthesizer non-intuitive. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 2/20/2020 9:10 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: > My first lab standard was 1 one pound bar of a mixture of lead and > babbit I found in our farm shop. > I cast it and hammered it and shaved it until it weighed the same as a > pint of water. > I then took it through a metal detector at an airport. > This was right after DB Cooper and it was the first metal detector at > PDX. > I was certain that it could not detect non ferrous metals.
