Most of the Moog prototype stuff I've seen have been pretty well constructed
for prototypes.  The front side and back side seeing about the same level of
fit and finish.  OOhh yeah, the sackbut however gives me the heebie jeebies.
That'd positively drive me nuts, however its fit and finish were pretty
consistent...  Mr LeCaine however was on a different plane then most of us.
I *highly* recommend reading the Sackbut Blues.  Great book. 

While I'm recommending books, "I Believe in Music" is another really good
one to check out.  Thats Ikutaro Kakehashi's autobio, founder of Roland.  I
happened to read it back to back with Sackbut Blues.
