This has 'military surplus' written ALL over it. Even the power connectors are some non-standard
European DIN version of the bladed Cinch-Jones ones in the ARPs and Moogs.

I'm sure in 1974, even at surplus, these LM341H can op amps were $2-$3 ea. But, inside they are
STILL 741s. Eck. Later schematics have pencilled in notes like "use NE5556 here?" so at least he
was thinking of using 'better' parts down the road.

Which brings up my favorite topic: do you leave the circuitry alone or put say TL071s in there?
If Don *had access* to a TL071 in 1974, would he have used it?
