This is a great rangemaster variant based on mods by Pete Moore and David Main. The Darlington transistor arangement allows you to dial in the aggression of the circuit. I love it, I breadboarded it up in a few hours and now I'm boxing it up - it's that good at what it does!

Here's a blog post with more info: http://revolutiondeux.blogspot.co.uk/20 ... -find.html

It's a really simple circuit that does so much more than the sum of it's parts. Well worth a build - just buy up some cheap russian germanium and go mental - I got 50 MP14 trannys for a £10 shipped, well worth it..

Just use standard Red Rooster layout, and in place of one transistor use two as it is shown in this post:
