[sdiy] Paia Fatman kit???

[Alan W Mason]

	Go for it. 
	I've just finished building a FATMAN kit and it 
worked first time. it pretty good as a starter as it comes 
wilth all the bits. The sound is fairly basic as the two 
vco's only produce a square wave which does mean that you 
cant do much with the initial tone i presume this was a 
compromise as the two oscillators do give it a "fat" sound  
.Its good as a bass or lead synth.The only fiddly bit is 
the flying wires from the circuit board to the front panel 
pots.
	Be warned if your ordering from the EU DHL the 
carrier will slap on duty, VAT and charge you £10 for 
processing it. this means that the kit arrives through 
customs very quickly (ordered friday arrived tuesday)
but it should be considered when costing. the Whole ot 
added a further £40 to the cost.
