[sdiy] Jameco Part # 20685 Function Generator

[Scott Bernardi]

The chip in the function generator kit is the Intersil 8038.  Works just fine
for a function generator,  but doesn't have the range and linearity needed for
a musical VCO.
I agree - Jameco is a good company.  I live in the same state, and I can make
an online order and have it within 2 days, standard USPS.
