While I appreciate all interest in Vintage Serge stuff, I can't help but think about the ethics of posting schematics on the Internet without at least asking Serge's permission. There are those of us who would gladly make existing schematics available to the unwashed masses *only if* Serge himself gave his blessing. Otherwise, it's a no-go in my book.
While I don't want to speak for Serge himself, when I saw him a few years back, there was some concern expressed on his part of the sense of 'lack of concern for the original designer'. Have you grappled with this question yet? I'm not trying to get all in-your-face about this, though as a friend of Serge's I would like to see the proper respect paid. He put his entire life work into this venture for many years and lived like a pauper. Are we 'entitled' to his work just because we are all connected via this Interweb thingy?
The Analog Shift Register is a no-brainer, as Serge gave his blessing for those schematics to be published back in the late 70's. I personally don't know any of the ethical considerations present on any of the other schematics that you point to. I would however highly encourage you to 'do it right' and contact the man directly.
We can discuss this more if you care to email me offlist.
In friendship and goodwill,
Stephen
