[sdiy] Korg release full-size MS-20 kit

[Jean-Pierre Desrochers]

Check the pots used at around 0:19sec of the clip..
-Was Korg using those type of pots (that have a short life span)
  in the original 80's design ?
-Weren't they Alpha type at that time ?
-SMD parts... good luck for any 'fast repairs'
-What is the price for it ?
Hmmmmm...
