    I wondered before why no-one seems to have done a clone of the
    ua726.<br>
    <br>
    Doesn't *SEEM* all that complex?!<br>
    A nice matched pair (eg LS318) is the main core.<br>
    6 transistors (I presume general purpose?), 2 x 6V2 zeners and 6
    standard resistors.. - those parts being for the heating element.<br>
    <br>
    Get the pin placement right, encapsulate it in goo.. <br>
    <br>
    What am I wrong on? <br>
    <br>
    [I don't want to fully take on such a project, though could
    potentially do a design up for initial testing with a view to
    someone running a production in a friendly open-source-ish manner]<br>

                      I doubt that these were ever shipped to, or made
                      in China so I would look elsewhere. Its hard to
