Hi,

If you google around and find the schematics for various moog products 
you'll find that even moog had a different implementation of the ladder 
filter in many of their products (often the differences are in the 
output diff amp - i think every Moog product uses a different diff amp 
structure!).  You can then look at various Moog clones and compare.  For 
example:

On YuSynth we find BC547C with CA3046:

If you look at the ARP filter it used 2N5249 and 2N5367, which
people sub 2n3904 and 2n3906.

HTH,
Dave
