        Not seen any replies to this, though I may have missed them...
Anyway, the sleeve notes to the remaster of HW say that Del used a VCS3 at
that time, and I assume since his sound didn't change much it stayed that
way mostly? Other people could probably contribute more...

        I believe Dik Mik on the other hand was a build-your-own man. Some
day I must find out if I actually _do_ know where he drinks or if my
informant was making it up. Yours,
