[sdiy] Monosynth features poll

[Bob Weigel]

Tom.. I've been so busy with the floods and all here... you got some of 
those contact repair disks didn't you?  Did you have a chance to use them?

I think the Pro-One also used rubber contacts on some since I got the 
case from one that the guy said had them..  The later versions of it 
went to that I guess.  I think the availability of that stuff probably 
died around 1982 or so since nobody used it thereafter that I'm aware. -Bob
