Steal this circuit, please!

[Grant Richter]

Another piece of damn fine work from John Blacet!

This is an example of how the state of the art has
improved in the last 20 years. Very little attention was
paid to power supply protection in Moog, Serge and
Buchla modules and this accounts a significant
amount of failures.

I would consider this essential for Archival Electronic
design, the exception would be use of high value
film or ceramic capacitors for bypass based on
the fixed 20 year lifespan of an electrolytic.

John, would you care to share a part number/source
for those PTCs?
