Might still be worth giving them a test to make sure. Small Bear Elec will send you a matched pair and the values of the resistors you should use in the circuit to get it working properly.I'm startin ... |

Gotta be careful Tweez. The germs need to be matches and have only a certain amopunt of leaky current.

SHO isn't even a totally original design.Neither is the Wooly Mammoth, he actually admits to that though. I think a lot of circuits are very similar that there is bound to be repetition at some point. |
