A classic Monosynth as a DIY project?

I have been thinking about constructing a classic Monosynth, like a smaller Moog synth in a semi modular form like a 2600. Then offering it as a kit of PCB, Parts and Maybe a faceplate. Is anyone interested in this?

I would aim at something like a Prodigy, which I have seen sold on eBay for ~$1250 used (not commenting on whether or not that's reasonable). I am also aiming at a Prodigy as, I know from experience that they sound fantastic but don't have parts, which are too difficult to source. Some of the other similar sized Moogs use special IC's or have inflexible VCO's, so I don't to do these. Other small synths use difficult to get IC's, like SC Pro One and Roland SH101's which use the Curtis CEM IC's so I am not interested in these either.

This would be a non-commercial enterprise, which I would basically recover the cost of parts for the kits and faceplate etc..
