Not quite .. from the website I see they use a BA6110 OTA instead of 
BA662 which is not quite the same (but this is only for the VCA so 
perhaps it's not too critical).

Also I suspect that some of the currently available transistors may not 
be 100% the same as those in the original 303.  For example the website 
says the x0xb0x uses the 2SK30A JFET, but in my 303 schemo there is used 
the 2SK30(O) and 2SK30(Y).

Nevertheless it looks like an admirable effort -  the audio samples do 
sound good, I would say _almost_ as nice as a real 303 - but that's a 
subjective opinion, and remember that actual 303s themselves can vary 
quite considerably in sound.
