[sdiy] Radio Shack tunage

[MTG]

Probably more embarrasing than anything. But this piece uses the neon light 
kit which intercourses the mini organ kit. The Concertmate(?) drum machine 
is also featured (boop chip). There is some cheesey (other) organ all over 
it. Finally the vocal parts are stolen from a flexi-disk, probably from 
National Geographic, but who knows. I'm guessing circa 1982. Just after I 
learned how to solder as a wee lad.
