OK, lets just cut to the chase here on this clock divider.  Unless
you already own one, conversion is a waste of money.  The PCB and
electronic parts are worth less than $10.  The rest of it (the
expensive parts) the panel, jacks and such you have to replace
anyhow.

This is a dirt simple circuit.  As John pointed out, it has only one
chip.  I imagine he is using transistors for the output drivers in
switching mode. So, I imagine if you run it on 15V you will get
higher voltage swing on the outputs.

If you have any building skills at all buy the Blacet Binary Zone. 
It is a far more interesting and versitale module than a simple clock
divider.  OK, I realize it does not have individual outputs.  But,
they are very simple to add if you like.  John will even sell you the
"basic version" of the module which comes without panel, knobs, jacks
and pots.

Give us an idea of what you want on the panel.  We can do it.
