I almost missed the BC560. Did you use the BC560A or BC560B in the prototype? Also is it ok to use a 30K trim in place of the 25k?

I do not. Hopefully others have them for you.

Man.... now I need to order another one.

Thank you.

How do I label this thing? 🙂

They are clones of the 2159. I bought them so long ago that I forget where I got them from. Edit: Just looked and they are $3.50 from smallbear electronics. http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/ic-v2159d/
