Yep! Thanks for the reference guys. Great minds think alike! 

And me too!

Yeah, I have only the best to say about Joachim (if you look at his page 
about disassembling a broken submodule, you'll see a ring modulator submodule 
I used to own). A great guy to be sure. He was one of the first people (along 
with Paul S.) I came into contact with when I first got online. I couldn't 
imagine so many interesting and helpful people could reached so easily -- I 
had high hopes for the internet (so you can imagine my profound 
disappointment when I realized that Bradley and Hendry were about the best I 
was going to get).

I agree that one could probably diy the ladder VCF as JV has it, but I ain't 
that one! I've drawn it out for protoboarding and it looks about three times 
the size of the standard ARP submodule (although, as I write this, I remember 
that Phil C's Bluemeanine is much larger than the ARP too). Since I've had a 
few recent bad (i.e., nonworking) diy experiences, I've not wanted to attempt 
such a thing with what seems to be a bit of a complex circuit. And of course 
it seems like a good PCB candidate to make available for repair reasons and 
for hobbyists who might be interested in a ladder VCF too!

Oh well, I guess I have to build up my diy skills -- thanks again guys!

Sorry Larry, I didn't know you were busy at AHMW and unable to defend 
yourself -- otherwise I would have made far more inflammatory comments<g>!

Hey, give us a full report when you get a chance!
