This exact schematic is for sale here - can you believe it?

As the FM-2 appeared in the 1969 Acetone US catalog, the FM-1 is usually dated 1966-8.

So, I've not breadboarded this yet, but tried to put some starting part numbers to the schematic. Any suggestions?

Selling Analoggurus schematics, which he gave out for free….very low class.
I so dislike the modern digital world that I need to use semi-digital effects to emulate the analog world of cassette, VHS, and vinyl.

The schematic refers to the FZ1A Fuzztone and the Mica Wailer, which have one 1.5V battery, but this pedal clearly feeds off 3V.
This may well be the schematic for the LRE Fuzz, but it's not entirely correct for either the Mica Wailer or Monacor Fuzzder, who have 1.5V power.
