Vtg 1950s 1960s R.A. Moog Melodia Theremin Instrument

This listing is for a vintage R.A. Moog Melodia Theremin. These units were first produced in 1959. This one has some scuffs and wear from use. It's missing the power knob, antenna, and the three top screws. The inside is mostly clean. There is some corrosion on the battery clamp and on one side of the metal plate on the pitch side. The wire on the right side of the battery clamp needs to be soldered. We're unable to test the Theremin so it's being sold as-is with no guarantee of functionality. This listing has no reserve price so don't miss your chance to win!

The winning bidder can choose to pick up this item and save on shipping charges. We're required to collect 6% sales tax.

We are contracted to sell to the highest bidder and will not end the auction early for a buy-it-now.
