German modular dudes Curetronic sell a PCB which is a clone of the 
100m 121 VCF. i have the PCB but i've not built it up yet, and 
although my music college had a 100m, it's been 20 years and i don't 
remember what it sounded like. however given that the VCF is about 
80% of the sound of a synth, having a clone of this one should get 
you most of the way.
