Just a quick note to tell everyone I've got 2 MOTM-300 VCOs up and running.
It would have been perfect except that I reversed a couple of resistors and
was greeted with silence when I fired them up first.
Excellent kit, Paul, congrats!
The only thing I would warn other builders about is the precision
resistors. A few are metal cans with the value printed on, but many have
blue bodies, and the color code is totally worthless. I ended up measuring
each one to figure out its value. A little extra care here can prevent
hassles later.
Well, I'm back to test some more and calibrate!
