Hey SoundDR & all,
i've been working on restoring a Paia Gnome.
Was interested in the resistance strip.
Got it all working, except the A/R is a little screwy.
found a wrong resistor value....
Didnt help ..
thought i'd read this list.
sure is s.....l......o.....w......t...o...d...a...y...

well, I've been enjoying working with a new band here. Real good
guitarist and a couple younger guys on bass and drums who are fitting
in real well. Nice age range...47, 42, 23, 22 or like that. Anyway
working on a lot of semi-oldies...Oya Coma Va, Rikki, In God's
Country, Diamonds on the Soles of her shoes, and some SRV stuff to
name a few.

trying to use it on some things, programmed a nice organ for Oya Coma
Va and some of the other songs we're doing on the Korg
Wavestation...though the guy has a B3 with two leslie's I practise on.
We'll likely haul a leslie to gigs most of the time. He also has a
CX-3 we might use sometimes.

too busy. Someone was dumping a nice wood box that's about the right
size for the monster I want to build. Hopefully get back to it some
day soon.
