Doepfer

Hello Peter and David,

Thank you for all the information about power supplies. It might come 
in handy when I'm going to build an external controller cabinet for 
my 2 theremins and maybe a sequencer and other CV sources..

There's still one thing:
The links David posted about the veroboard doesn't really work. I've 
checked out maplin, searched there on "veroboard", couldn't find 
anything with that. I did find a lot of other stuff (stripboards?). 
But I don't  know if that would be the same thing..

Greets, Zameer
