I love it to see the Formant is still alive. I build my Formant in the late seventies and when my daughter was born, it was dismantled and lasted for some 23 years in corrigated boxes on the attic. Now daughters are gone and the Formant is back. Got some uA726 from someone in the netherlands (only 30 euro a pc) and will have VCO 3 running again shortly. The S&H capa's needed replacement. Some poti's will need to be replaced too - compressed air and cleaner didn't help. If anyone needs copies of the Formant books in the dutch language, please ask. I think I even have the original blue music cassette... I'm thinking of starting a batch of new frontplates (made in China) for the old modules. Rework them a little so they will mount easier in standard 19" racks. Just asking... if I would do so, would anyone be interested in buying sets? It would certainly get the price down. And what about PCB's? please comment on this issue.
