As a matter of fact I'm using the schematic from your site along with the 
Buchla schematic. Yours is way more legible. Am I the only one who has 
trouble following the Buchla schematics? I've found that dumping them into 
Photoshop and color-coding them helps.

I was impressed with the number of LPG's you'd built for people (famous 
people) so I looked into it and thought "hey I want some too."

I'm putting 2 together with Ken Stone's Synthacon Filter and Psycho LFO 
along with a Ray Wilson AR generator in a cigar box electronium.

I'm going to use 4066's though. I'm testing an SD5001-MA (Calogic) too, but 
I'm not sure if I could ever find more of those. (You can find them in old 
Videocipher II boxes.) The only thing that really sucks about them is that 
they are not a pin-for-pin replacement for the 4016/66.

I have a bunch of those too.
