[sdiy] The start of my modular

Do you guys think there is a module in the list that would be  
rightfully sacrificed in return for another ADSR?

This may count as my first true contribution to the list, but I did  
some searching for that power supply, and I came up with it for only  
$10 on eBay...  ($90 list price)

Supply-12-15VDC_W0QQitemZ7501862412QQcategoryZ66995QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrd

It is the +/- 12/15v 3.4/3A model.  There are 26 of them so plenty to  
go around, but they are being sold as is... at $10 you can't  
disagree.  Should I pull the trigger?
