I mean, it’s kind of obvious, not to be a dick or anything. The led is moved to the breakout, and if you follow the traces or the...

I built two gain stages on a bread board, one with J177 and one without. Both have 15k drain resistor, 820R source resistor and 220k...

Those are Chinese 3AX31C germanium PNP transistors. The gain/leakage values that you measured are typical for the 3AX31C. I’ve used them...

Uh, what? The CA3130 definitely has compensation pins? Slew-rate limiting of the 3130 via compensating capacitors is a cornerstone of...

In my own defense, I'd like to point out that I wanted something nice for my birthday 2024 and I had just paid off the Credit Card which...

Start again in the Trouble shooting thread, sounds like something is going to Ground via the pots?? With power unplugged, Check to see...

HOUSE-FINCH UPDATE We have now seen the Mommas both feeding the hatchlings the last two–three days. Sometimes the Charm helps out...

@PedalBuilder really got me interested in his smart IO board so I rigged up my own: Harder to make this work with basic parts from...

J176 has a DGS pinout, you need one with a DSG. R2 connects to Gate. That would do it! Desolder it and socket that bad boy to test other...

Your diodes are probably fine. Leakage is part of the "mojo" of germanium diodes, and can mess with your measurements. As long as they...
