[sdiy] second request: WTT for SSM2020

[Theo]

There are some companies that sell SSM2020 (and other CEM/SSM) online.
Just use Google or something.
As long the price for NOS parts lays below $100, getting a custom run would
not be economical.

Think the SSM2020 was just a dual VCA.
Maybe you could just change to a more common VCA IC and get over it.
