a) Except for "rarity", I don't "see" the $$$ placed on the Buchla. As with any good modular, you
see little "flashes of greatness" here and there, scattered about. However, the slide pots are
useless, I counted 23 bad toggle switches and every jack needs replacing. I can't hear it in
action, as all 7 (!) Power One supplies need replacing. Yep, it has *7* power supplies!

Let's wait 30 years and see if I did my homework :)

b) Some folks will be pleased to hear that after tomorrow, Buchla is put away. It's not even mine
:) I just "borrowed" it for a week. It's going off for a $5000+ refurbish job (4 months at
20hr/week).

So, back to the 'real world' of MOTM. The kitting rate continues to be strong, still on track for
100% shipments in June. Bad part: I have to pay bills tomorrow :(  But after that, I'm making a
batch of '940s and the rough draft of the '890 manual.
