[sdiy] Revisited: Buchla 292 finished!

Everyone (especially Keith Wintanely),

I just awoke in a sweat realizing the switch symbol  on my redrawn Buchla
292c LowPassGate schematic may not clearly indicate one important feature,
although I do mention this in the introduction:

The toggle switch is an ON-OFF-ON type.  This is VERY important.  If you use
pme without that center position, you'll loose  the famous 'combo' mode that
made this unit what it was.  This allows the a mixture of the lowpass filter
and straight amplitude mod function and all that fantastic ringing.

Keith, if you used the wrong one, fear not - just replace it with an
ON-OFF-ON type and you will be set.

OK, back to bed now.

Night.
