   While I'm all for keeping EMS alive, I seriously doubt that by making 
the schematics available that they'd lose business.  Last I heard, EMS 
has a 1 year backlog of orders (pretty impressive!) for their machines 
which are _very_ expensive and certainly out of the range of the majority 
of the DIY'ers that would be interested in building the circuits.
   And even though all of the Moog schematics are available, has that 
reduce the amount of business for Moog CE?  Last I heard they have more 
business than they really want as well.  So evidently there's a huge 
market for "original" built machines as opposed to copies.  This is why 
Putnam's kids are remarketing the Universal Audio line.  People want the 
real thing even though there are many clones on the market.

   Just my input.
