Why not just focus all your time and energy on making music with your Emu's rather than this constant mad scientist science project
stuff with these old machines. I am done doing all that. Now it's time to make a ton of trax with all this cool Emu stuff I have collected and serviced. The best advice you're going to get is once you have a machine that works right... Just make music with it.
I think most people, like myself at times, forget about that part and lose their focus. Little mods here and there is ok.
But cloning it or re-engineering the whole entire thing is totally mental. You'll waste your time and money.
Make a track today with your EII if you have all this time and energy to burn. :)

Sorry, I hate to be THAT guy and dont mean to be a buzz killer, but why don't you simply keep your EII if you like the sound so much and save yourself all the trouble of rebuilding/clone it?! That project is going to cost you TONS of time and money and good luck finding all the ICs. I mean seriously, if you weigh up cost and time for that project against what you're gonna get for your EII, it makes no sense. Unless you have tons of spare time to kill and commercial ambitions to sell it as a mass produced viable EII replacement. But even then, I don't think the vintage sampler lover's market is large enough to justify it. Just my 2 cents...
The Emax I would probably be as close as you can get to the EII if you decided to sell and looking for a cheaper alternative.
Good luck!
