[sdiy] KORG to Remake ARP Odyssey

[John Speth]

You'll want to work on it for these two reasons: customization or repair.
Assuming build quality is top shelf, I don't think repair will ever be an
issue.  Modern SMT electronics are extremely reliable unless they're abused.
Customization is another issue but if you want custom, use a modular.
