6,000 total, from the guy that wrote the POs to Moog.

more detail will be in my book "Mostly True Tales", out next fall.

I have a FB Group called that if you want to join.

They must have sold a lot at least in Germany, in the mid eighties=20
everybody here seemed to own at least one, and they outnumbered all=20
other Moogs owned by the local bands. For most of the time I remember=20
the MG-1 they were discounted, and after the demise of the Wasp they=20
were the cheapest synth you could get short of DIY kits. It is quite=20
possible that they never sold more than 1750 at full list price - but=20
the total number should have been much higher, unless they sold them in=20
Germany only...
