Thanks!

I'm now hosting them at

users.ece.gatech.edu/~lanterma/tgateX.jpg

where you replace the X with the numbers 1 through 8.

I don't have an actual link to it, you have to put in the full URL.

And, indeed, I have some of the parts to build a timbre gate. Anderton 
says the logic gate used can be a MC810G, a muL914, a HEP580, etc. - I 
have two HEP580's and a handful of muL914s.

This article seemed to solve another mystery - I have four small metal 
cans marked X10G1829. If these are the "X10" used in the article, they're 
unijunction transistors.

Thanks for folks who have made offers on various parts of my giant 
transistor stack. I'll have to ask for your patience if it takes me a 
while to respond - work has be slammed at the moment.
