[sdiy] Identification of an unknown MIDI CV interface

the keyword is "Vero wire":

https://de.rs-online.com/web/p/products/1054711/ (NOT IN STOCK ANY MORE)

and the infamous Vero pencil which is actually utter crap since the tip
is plastic and easily ruined by the soldering iron:

what I use instead is 0.3mm automatic pencil with a little 3d printed
spool holder:

compared to "magnet" wire which has very hard to remove isolation, Vero
wire isolation melts away easily...
