Well, thats a good start, since it shows that you're able to solder.

Hehe. This was my first module too, and it's a good learning with it. I
did two of them and, afterwards, was able to build other modules this
way, simply rearranging the schematic.

As I already said: Make this one and learn from it and you'll be able to
do it yourself. Look around at Renés site and you'll find an
LFO-Schematic. Other headings may be the website of Ken Stone
(http://cgs.synth.net) or Juergen Haible
(http://home.debitel.net/user/jhaible/hj.html)

Have Fun,
Sven.

ps: Please read Renés annotations carefully. Espescially the ones about
the Transistors and there soldering direction. It got mad finding the
error in my first try of this VCO, cause i overread it.
