[sdiy] Tin Whiskers

 > any suggestions for suppressing whisker growth?

NO NO NO NO! You should *encourage* whisker growth, it's what gives that 
vintage equipment it's special sound characteristics! (Not to mention those 
*special* reliability characteristics). The unique inductive/capacitive 
networks that are created by years of tin whisker building create a truly 
analogue and fractal electrical response; no two Minimoogs sound quite the 
same. You just can't get that kind of performance with new parts and 
construction! I say bring on the unshaven ARPs and Minimoogs!!!  ;-)=

Take care,
Doug (unshaven)
