[sdiy] Euro Synth Spec

[john slee]

Obviously this is just my own experience but I am fairly sure I haven't
seen any of it beyond the Elby website, ever:

* not at modular meets (even here in Sydney, Australia, only ~1.5 hours by
train from Laurie at Elby's hometown)
* not in any pics/ModularGrid links I've seen posted on forums
* not in any pics on social media

Maybe people are just buying/building actual Serge systems instead?

It seems like an uncomfortable compromise to me. I like the colours and I
like what I've read of the modules available from Elby, but the jacks are
pretty expensive! I can have PJ302Ms in 250+ quantity shipped to me by
Thonk for a hair under $0.45 each and don't need to stock up multiple
colours
