Bad news : Ua726 depleted

[Andrew Schrock]

If you're going to go this route, isn't there a small-PCB replacement 
version of the uA726 manufactured? I seem to remember it was produced, but
not cheaply, by some UK synth company. Analog solutions perhaps? I forget
the name, but I seem to remember the price being around $90. Maybe
somebody should think about a DIY version?
