to wire two capacitors in series to
approximate the 3.9nF tone cap; I
believe the value ended up reading
3.81nF. I kept the 1.5kΩ current limiting
resistor but switched the LED; but the
LED I used was a 3mm blue diffused
with 3.0 forward voltage, as opposed
to the original red diffused part which
has a forward voltage of 1.75. Apart
from the LED and the aforementioned
(closely-substituted) capacitor, I believe
this recreation to be accurate to the
best of my abilities.”
I would like to extend a special thanks
to Phil Robinson for letting me use his
Civil War for this feature, and Nadav
Laytin for his wonderful work on the
new enclosure for the clone.
