[sdiy] Mini ARP 2600 from Sweden as kits of parts

[Robin Whittle]

I don't recall this being mentioned on the list before:

    Two Thousand Six Hundred (TTSH)

This is being discussed in a very long thread:

  http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82997

It is a 73% size replica of the ARP 2600, last produced in 1981
(according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_2600), without a keyboard
and with no MIDI.  It has provision for a spring reverb.  The creator
and others will be providing kits of most parts as well as cases.

As far as I can tell, by looking at the photos and videos, the 3.5mm
switched sockets are similar or identical to those I researched here:

and which are available here in smallish quantities:

The later (late 2012 and after) production of these sockets by Wenzhou
QingPu Electronics Co solves a previous problem with the spring contact
deforming.  These new production sockets should work really well.
