I know that, your designs show more care for quality, stability and actually meeting intended specifications than most analog synth manufacturers, new or "vintage".
If you liked poor design you'd have a "wall of Paia".
Wasn't intended at your expense, really.
Will you also make a "dying" synth with hundreds of vintage electrolytic and tantalum capacitors, Polymoog inspired "wires everywhere" construction, "Made In Italy" build quality, user's choice of unobtanium DAC, pre-broken ARP Odyssey sliders, strategically placed leaky NiCd batteries, at least one dead µA726, and "everyone's favorite" Pratt-Reed keyboard?
ok, that's enough, right?
