I thought about this.  Bot I wanted the personality of the real deal so I
opted for that.  Ya know what I mean?  It's sort of the Wasp Filter
syndrome.  A flawed design that yielded a ton of personality.

Maybe what I should of done is have a jack for an external source for the
triangle's FM with a normaled connection to the internal MM5837.  That
sounds interesting.  I've got plenty of faceplate space on this guy, it may
not be too late.
