[sdiy] Synth giveaway!

[The Peasant]

Hello again everyone, sorry for the delay. Wow, there still seems to be a lot 
of interest in this vintage PAIA stuff! Thanks to everyone who responded, it's 
great to see that the DIY spirit is so strong!

Our lucky winner is the first person to respond who wished to use these parts 
with other vintage PAIA equipment:

Richard Hess (metamatic at webtv.net)

Hopefully Richard will keep us all informed of his progress with this project.

Take care,
Doug

> 
> this bit of hardware on to somebody who already has some 2700 series gear and

> 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

> (VCO), and 2720-7 (Power Supply). The other two PAIA boards are 2720-3L (Low
