MOTM

Dear all -

Will's high-school spring break is over, but we made a bunch of
progress over the last week.  We took a bunch of photos of our motm101
and motm120 construction.  This is probably boring to most, but our
goal in doing so has become twofold.  First, to hopefully point the
way for other DIYers.  Second, to document our efforts.

Explaining the second point first - years ago, over a couple bottles
of  wine with a sculptor and a poet friend of mine, in response to my
complaining that I always feel like I'm never accomplishing anything,
they recommended that I try doing what they do - keep copious records
of everything... reciepts, photos, newspaper clippings, etc.  So I've
done so every since.  So I cann look back at what I've done - and not
have it just just disappear (like tears in rain).

And as for the first point, well - when we started building this
synth, we hadn't done anything like it before.  Oh - I'd made some
simple things like microphone cables - speaker cabinets.  A very cool
road case for my Hammond.  I'd done maintainence on my analog tape
recorders... but never anything so involved as this synth.  And we're
so encouraged by our successes - we want to share this with others who
are new to all this.

Especially in light of Paul's completely understandable move away from
kits - maybe this'll help the newbees.

OK - so - anyway - here's the URL of our synth project home page:

And here's the 120 constrruction page:

Please proof-read and comment about how we can improve things.

Thanks so much, all - for your support and help.

Bill and Will
