Sure, it's at:

http://www.buchi.de/SDIY/

>I remember recently reading about the classic

That would be the CA3280. There certainly is a lot of information in the archives
for it and other OTLs.

The CA3280 is a dual OTL and so is not pin-to-pin compatible with the 3080.
But it is far superior.

Welcome to the list!

Take care,
Doug
