[sdiy] EMS synthi-AKS connector help requested

> Weird that Cinch discontinued only the 8pin.  Weird and annoying.

I am convinced synth manufacturers are in bed with hardware and other
technology companies just to screw us over!

I choose to raise the following issues:
Nuts for almost every toggle switch (esp the big bag of C&K I got
cheap that had no nuts)
Nuts for pots
Plugs
Oh yeah, and I hate the power pin connectors on mobile phones, PDAs
and other such things! Try getting your hands on some of those so you
can make a custom adapting device!
