MOTM

Are these total sales of *modules* or *systems*? (it's 1000 modules for
MOTM, right?)

450 seems awfully low for Buchla *modules*, since Grant Richter's (F/i) and
Richard Franecki's (Voco Kesh, ex-F/i) systems in Milwaukee would account
for nearly a quarter of those!  (I've seen Grant's, which is about 40
modules IIRC - and I've been told that Richard's is 1.5 times the size of
Grant's)

And 11000 sounds right for Moog *modules* - divide by Ben's 5 and you get
2200 *systems*? (but 5 modules/system doesn't sound right either?!?)
