Functional copies, and in a number of cases direct rip-offs of Serge.
They were allegedly made by a Julian Driscoll in Melbourne Australia
around '79 and '80. The use PCB material painted black as the face
plates, and all text on them has been silk screened on at the PCB
house that made them. They are un-branded. The most identification
there is is "JCD79" in the bottom corner of the NTO panel.
The NTO for example, while being quite different from the Serge NTO,
uses a little "clone" VCA module to VC the FM or something like that,
where as the original serge did NOT use one of these little modules.
VCFQ is more or less a direct copy, Envelope generators are either
CEM based or directly out of Electronotes etc.
