[sdiy] Buchla's back

[jblippard at comcast.net]

Considering how badly Mr. Pearlman got burned by the fall of ARP, I doubt he's got much interest in coming up with anything new.  I believe he's also turning 80 this year.
I could see something new coming from Oberheim, but his last unit didn't do very well IIRC.  Since Buchla, Moog, and Dave Smith are back in force, maybe he'll jump in.
Anyone care to place bets on (another) PPG revival? ;)
