Happy New Year everyone! All the best for a fabulous New Year with much 
pleasant DIYing for all!

A coworker, in a fit of fall basement cleaning, has given me the old PAIA 2700 
series project from his mis-spent electronics DIY youth. I would like to pass 
this bit of hardware on to somebody who already has some 2700 series gear and 
would like to restore or add to it. There is absolutely NO documentation with 
this stuff, so if you do not have either access to the documentation or similar 
hardware to work from, it would be very difficult to put to use.

The synth consists of a PAIA vinyl keyboard "resistor" with wire frame 
note "keys" all attached to a piece of wood, some longer wire "contacts", and 
four home-made "modules" connected with three PAIA pcbs. There are also two 
unconnected PAIA Filter pcbs as well as a home made VCA pcb. The four modules 
are not labelled, but are connected to pcbs labelled 2720-6 (EG?), 2720-2 
(VCO), and 2720-7 (Power Supply). The other two PAIA boards are 2720-3L (Low 
Pass Filter) and 2720-3B. The modules themselves are basic aluminum half-boxes 
with minijacks, pin jacks, and potentiometers mounted without knobs or any 
labelling.

So if anyone can use this stuff, it's yours for the cost of shipping from 
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, unless you want to pick it up in person, in which 
case it's completely free!

Take care,
Doug
