[sdiy] Crumar Composer review/couple remaining troubles

[Bob Weigel]

I got ahold of some dpdt rotary switches from ALl electronics.  They 
height was PERFECT!  They substitute for those weird 14 pin french 
switches that were in there after hard wiring them  and just bending the 
lugs out sideways. 

These synths are very cool sounding.  The organ presets are great! And I 
like strings better than trilogy at least I think. Fairly elaborate BBD 
useage.  to create some decent roto effect for the day.  Some really 
nice layering possibilities I already hear.  Synth part is two Curtis 
chip channels for a mono and a paraphonic poly.  Great tone qualities.

Only one problem remains ..well two

1) The keys are the same fatar design used in Siel DK600, DK80 and some 
other Crumars I think...save..these have dual spring switches and hence 
use a different piece that extends down to move those parts.  I'm 
missing 9 of them.  ANyone have a key like that in stock?  Longshot I 
know.. otherwise I have to manufacture something to duplicate what that 
piece does...which wont' be that bad probably...
2) No RESONANCE!  Not sure why.  Will trace from Pin 9 on the CEM3320's 
unless someone has a diagram for these things.
