WRONG!!!!!!! - the MkII in question (serial number unknown) is now the property of the Robert Moog estate (his foundation?). It was on display somewhere at/near his home in Asheville, North Carolina, but is earmarked for a museum being built (if it hasn't already been completed). I lifted a rather poor photo of it off the 'net a while ago, but it seems to have been removed.
