I've seen the schematics. As I have some "web presence" with an analog
frequency shifter myself, Chris has contacted me and showed me the schematics.

It looks really good!
It's a solid analogue design, as far as I remember not aiming for thru-zero stuff,
but using a very good quadrature oscillator that can go down to low frequencies.

There's a lot of things that have an influence on the final quality of a FS, like
component tolerances and the precision of adjustments, and the pcb layout
of course. So you can only judge it when you have tried the real thing. But
as you have asked about the circuit - yes, it looks good.

Chris - if you read this - good luck for your FS !

Apparently, my normal ISP (iquest) mail server is down. So, I have
not been getting mail at my normal address for some hours. Who knows
how long it will be down. Not too long I hope. But, I can be
reached at this address if you have sent me something and I failed to
respond.

Thanks,
Larry Hendry

While that certainly sounds hopeful, the point has been made that
pre-assembled 3rd-party "MOTM" modules are not as educational or as easy to
modify as those that come with schematics. That's why I asked.
