OK, thanks! Anything's worth a try.
Appreciating your taking time to mention that,

Hi,
I don't know the 100P very much,
but you can try the vintagesynthrepair group ;)

is what I'd been hoping for. (I particularly wanted to get aftertouch
"growl" + filter + vibrato, and that's all there in ARPy glory, on the
Teisco 100P. Now if only my fingers weren't now in need of Tiger Balm,
from pressing so hard....)

Teisco 100P to a synth tech, he might be able to insert a different
resitor or capacitor, that will boost the aftertouch response level -
-without buring out the circuits, of course! :-) ]

another Kawai/Teisco synth (the 400xx? perhaps?) that had aftertouch,
and four voices, with 8 presets & 8 user-storageable memories. If that
model might have the same "growl", I'd love to find out about it.
