From the post

Thanks to Ross to reminding me about this one! Here we a have a circuit for people that just love offboard wiring. ;-) Also be prepared to use sockets to try out different transistors since this is a "reverse beta" design which can be quite finnicky and be a source of frustration. Scheematic is avaiable HERE.

And for those who prefer only the second channel and less offboard wiring...

  • Black diode at column 2, rows H-K is labelled D4 on the board, while the legend reads 'D1-D3: 3mm red LED's' and 'D3: 1N5817': taken as D4 = 1N5817 (legend typo)
  • 240pF at column 15, rows F-H: printed clearly, unusual value
