Nyle Steiner Sythasystem Designs and Schematics to be Made Available

You might remember the Steiner Synthasystem restoration project from this post. David who runs Analogue Realities sent in the following to the SDIY list. I asked him if I could put a post up for those not on the list and he gave me the OK.

via David on the SDIY list:
"Here's a bit of good news to anyone interested in the Steiner Synthasystem. I've had a couple of long talks with Nyle and he said it would be fine to share what I'm doing. He'd like as many people as want to build his designs and enjoy them.

To that end, as I actually get PCBs and schematics that work, I'll post and share as I can. If there is enough interest, I'll put together PCB, panel buys, etc. Otherwise, I'll make the layouts and schematics available somehow.

Keep an eye on my blog over the next few weeks for updates, etc.

Thanks again to those who have given me some great help so far, you know who you are :) So, to those who I swore to secrecy, you don't have to keep quiet anymore.

My blog and website:

I'm going to meet with Nyle next month (after I recover from a total knee replacement on Monday) and he said he'd go over the schematics to make sure I have the latest corrections and designs.

So, I guess it goes up a notch from here."
