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