+1 for me except I just bought the schematics/assembly manuals because 
it was hard to find schematics for anything synth related in the 70's. I 
could not afford the incredibly affordable PAIA stuff on a paperboy salary.

Later on when I actually had the money, I got a few PAIA kits. I was 
astonished at how crude the circuit designs were. They barely worked 
well but good enough for the price.
