Speaking of films, I remember Richard Chamberlin mentioning his avocation
for film (thus the return pulley arrangement on the M's) and I bet he has a
bunch of super8mm....

I would absolutely LOVE to be involved. Here's the real question..


Why not do a proper documentary? The story has everything- and is bookended
(to date) by tales of technical wizardry by Precision Mystics working
miracles in sheds.
I've been talking to a film maker friend of mine- who's seen the Moog and
Theremin films- and she agrees. Done properly it would be a splendid piece
of work.

Yes, you're right about the need for a complete textbook style publication
along the lines of 'Beauty in the B'- Mark Vail's Hammond guide.

Gino! Ask away regarding Farfisa Compacts.


Love and Scones,

Fotheringay Mangles-Moog R.N. (Ret'd.)

because the story is half technical and half pop chronicle. To be sensible I
suggest as executive editor M. Smith (aka document dump), Technical editor
and historian J. Bradley. Extend the ever growing appendix, bibliography and
photos (AV) onto a website and CD.
