So, there are a few of those ARP MSL Educational Modules on ebay at
the moment. The kind that are in a little Butter/Margarine sized tub,
with two 9v batteries each. Matrixsynth covered it here

A few more pics to be found here.....

I've always wondered what was in them.
Has anyone got schematics of them? Or even some internal pics?

Back in my infancy of electronics (when I was 13-14) I started making
a bunch of general purpose electronic modules, and put them into empty
Nuttelex containers. before I knew about synthesizers, and modular
architecture, sadly, I don't have them any more. Stupid stuff, an
electronic dice, 555 oscillator. Before I knew about sinking/sourcing
current and wondered why I kept on burning out logic chips! Oh well,
we live and learn.
