Isn’t there an app for that now?
Mr G has had both a Moog and a Mellotron at one time or another in studios he worked at. He has wondered what ever happened to them.
As a side note, we had a friend who saw a woman getting into a parked car with a tag that said Minimoog. He backed up and asked her if she had one. She said she WAS one.... Moog’s daughter.
IIRC, this was one of the major sections of the equipment. The synth prof (clad in purple striped pants and a pistachio shirt, room decorated with a Hellraiser bust and disembodied arm offering an ice cream cone) was delighted to show off his precious machines in detail, a little unsure of how to address his odd audience (me + Mom) but eager to try. What a thrill it was, and thank _you_ for bringing that memory back.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man (Official Lyric Video)

I've told this before, I'll tell it again. In '71 or '72 maybe, I got recruited to drive a friend and some of his pals to the Spectrum in Philly in my Pinto for an Emerson Lake and Palmer concert . We got there and they went their way. I watched the concert and it seemed so-so to me, then it quit and everybody was milling around and I was looking for my charges but didn't see them. I wandered up to the upper deck and went behind a backdrop above the stage and fell asleep in a stadium seat. After some time, I was awakened by a loud noise, "ooooh -EEEEEE -oooooh" etc. I stood up and walked to the edge of the backdrop, and I was looking straight down on Keith Emerson, wrestling with his keyboard. I stayed there for some time, and I was never approached by anybody - can you imagine? The opening act had been YES.
As to refrigerators, my recollection is of a more modest dimension. I suppose it could have been bulky by later standards. I did say "wrestling".
I fear the world of music may become a Moogerfooger Cluster Flux. LOL! (For those of you who don’t know there really is such a thing!)
