[sdiy] Issue with CD4024 Ripple Counter

[David G Dixon]

I should also mention that, on the ASR, the signal from the diode to the
Clock pin also goes through a 10k resistor to a 5.1V zener to ground, then
through another 10k resistor into an inverting opamp with a 5V level shift
(-12V through a 24k resistor into the inverting node).  Hence, there are
lots of places for pent-up current to leak off to.

Sorry to belabor the point but the 'one diode' mention has made me twitch
twice now.  Is that one diode feeding into a passively pulled up (or down)
input or one diode into a floating node that might be drifting around
metastability?
