[sdiy] PAiA Gnome Repair

[Michael E Caloroso]

PAiA products are beginner level products.

While I was in college I built a modular out of 47xx kits.  For a student
they were great, and for a weekend warrior I was one of the few players in
town gigging with a synthesizer.  I designed a few modifications on that
thing.  It was a great learning experience for an EE student.

Would I buy one today?  No.  F-ing.  Way.

PAiA products are not destined for long life.  None of my PAiA modules
exist because one by one they stopped working.  Due to priorities they
landed dead last on the workbench to-do list.  They finally got discarded
after floodwaters hit my rental house.

Buying used PAiA gear is a real crapshoot as almost all of them were built
from kits.  You have no way of knowing the quality of the assembled kit
because the skill of the assembler is unknown.
