That thing sounds awesome, man! It sucks that it died on you, though. These things were made really poorly from the mid '70s to the mid '80s and pretty much fell out of popularity after that.
On another similar topic, an interesting old technology note is the "Theremin." The theremin was invented by Leon Theremin of Russia in the 1920s, and he predicted that every home in the world would have one by the end of the century. This was, obviously, not the case. Theremins are fun and easy to build, and I have done so myself. If you search Google, you will definately find several sites selling kits.

I watched Robert Moog give a theremin demonstration on TV a few years ago. I'm also friends with a theremin artist who has released an EP on my label, and collaborated with me a few times. The theremin is one of those instruments that I am interested in, but never remember to look into actually saving up and getting one.

no new (old) tech. to report.
but I will say that in my opinion, the theremin is simply awesome. If you happen to have an Mp3 of the theremin artist who recorded on yer label, post it, man!

I've message you via myspace with some of the racket I make, see what you think.
