[sdiy] PAiA Gnome repair

[grant musictechnologiesgroup.com]

I pursued electronics in spite of an attempt in my youth to make that 
thing useful. I don't know if I made some mistake or the synth was just 
horrible, but it was an off-putting experience. My second failure was a 
Radio Shack Shortwave Radio kit
( https://www.qsl.net/kc6vdx/gear/globe.html ), but somehow I took a 
third attempt at building something and my self esteem was eventually 
restored. I don't remember the 3rd kit, only the mental anguish from the 
first two.

Well actually I tore his Gnome apart (he thought he botched the assembly and it was junk) and as I tore it apart I discovered it was functional. So more of an atonement than a gift. The conductive strip is mostly gone on this one.
