SV: [sdiy] A book about analogue synthesizer circuits?

[Rude 66]

although i hardly consider myself qualified to write about advanced stuff, i
am a music journalist in real life. actually i'm writing a series (in
dutch/) about diy and modification at the moment for a dutch synth magazine.
i could proof-read stuff from people here..

but don't try to cover ground that's already covered. there are plenty of
soldering tutorials online, and things like 'what do components do and look
like'. what i often find the 'handiest' are little things in discussions..
roman's tip for cooking old circuit boards over a stove to recycle parts..
how to measure a transistor.. how does grounding work, what if i want
bananas instead of jacks, etc. the archives should be a real
treasure-trove..
