Wow, I have that little plastic record!!   I have wondered over the 
years whatever happened to Richard Bugg.   Listening to it, I was 
amazed, since I could never really get my Paia to tune.   I have one 
of the original 2720 oscillators that has an enormous drift rate.   
Is that an official electrical engineering term, drift rate?  Well, 
for that oscillator, the drift rate could be measured in mph.  Now it 
runs as an excellent random pitch generator.   :-)   

Well, even though the Paia designs were not too good, they taught me 
a lot at a price I could afford at the time.
