http://www.amsynths.co.uk/Filter_Bank/AM8069/am8069.html        used to sell a circuit board (or considered selling) for DIY but he's recently updated all his site and that stuff seems to be missing.

His used +12V and -5V.

The new page is

Here is some decent info about the NJM2069. Not a datasheet, but better than nothing!http://sounddoctorin.com/synthtec/korg/njm2069.htm

By accounts it looks like the positive voltage was +5v in the poly800 and +12v for the DW8000. Since I'd like to use +/-12v standard modular CVs I guess I should go with +12v.  I just hope I don't blow it, since I've only got one.
