Mr. Biddulph, I have a question about ordering VCO parts. Your order
form allows to order the 1K TEMPCO resistor (kit with 62R), and in
another place to order the Special Components for ASM-2 VCOs, which
includes:
2 TEMPCO resistor kits
2 MAT-02/LM394
3 J108 FET
I bought this Special Component package back when I was building two of
Ken Stone's VCOs. Now I am wondering if you might make a kit of *one*
set of these parts available, which would benefit us folks building CGS
VCOs and now the Bi-N-Tic filters?
1 TEMPCO resistors
1 MAT-02/LM394
1 J108 FET
Thanks,
Richard Brewster
