Thanks for all the great info Martin, it will be very helpful!

Does that mean if someone figured out how to do it with JFET's they could
leverage off that "learning experience" and do it with tubes too? (twin
triodes come to mind here)    (:-o     (:-\     (:->

They are from work, so I have to get the bean counters (accountants) to give
them up.  Everything is on list somewhere, and if they are going to throw
them away they have to account for that somehow.  So, if I can get them I
will.   : )
