Thank's - this is really interesting too, specially the documentation.
I don't know the GE works a bit different - in the block diagram is a "fundamental extractor" mentioned.
If I had access to a PCB etching I would build one in any case just to compare with the GE (which I hope will be fine now - if the obsolete parts can be found to restore it.
At least I can say I had any kind of help available !

It was from the Moog Etherwave, and Dr. Moog gave Harry Bissell permission to do a PCB run of the circuit, and he released it as a project via Tom Gamble's EFM. If it helps, the manual is still online kind courtesy of Mathias Hermann:
