Sounds great but build quality concerns

The sound is what truly matters here, and there it excels in all ways. It sounds fat, big, bassy and dirty. Great Moog sound you expect and get. What I didn’t expect was the side panels to slowly over time decay. Eventually they outgassed so bad that the rubber material was sticky and would leave black residue on my hands if I touched it. The keys have also turned from bright white to slight yellow due to fire retardant in the plastic. I replaced the side panels with wood side panels so now I love my synth again even if the keys are not beautiful bright white like they were before. Eventually I’ll fix that. But the sound is just great. So yeah, I have to give a very high rating with a point off for poor build quality on exterior elements.
