August electronic music. moog mods

[Quinton Fulsom]

I haven't really ever paid attention to the mag because of exactly what you
said.  However, that one insert to me is 100 x better and (probably more
accurate) than anything i've read in keyboard.  Maybe some nice
old-schooler could scan some of the older tech stuff or does anyone know if
it already exist on the web.  I looked and no dice.
