have already bought it. actually designing a circuit board for someone with  
a visual impairment is incredibly tricky. been there done it and got the burns 
 lol hehe
 
you can find that kind of kit either by buying from the moog website or  from 
any music store who can supply it. just search over the net for it. they're  
not that expensive but they are worth the money. I have swapped the antennai 
for  thicker and larger antennai basically by buying  heavy duty  tin  plated 
pipe which is about 10mm diameter and for the pitch rod (vertical right)  have 
made it to about 2 ft instead of the puny one that comes with the kit. and  
the volume antenna which looks kind of like a teddy bear's foot but bigger  
(horizontal left) is made longer and with a larger  set on the  rounding.
 
this enhances the look of the theremin unit, the feel and its playability.  
the trick about this kind of antenna work is making sure that the metal is a  
full electrical conductor as both antennai are LIVE!
 
hope this info helps.
 
oh just for info
 
the actual circuit board comes with a bracket holding 4 controllers, 1 jack  
(1/4 inch dia) and the power switch. there is a power transformer with the 
unit  which is 100 to 240v for UK and US customers or where ever purchased.  
the  
actual unit is fairly easy to build. I've completed all the circuitry and am  
half way through installing it and finishing the case. will finish it in the  
next day or two
