content: What is the tolerance on those 1ohm resistors, that will make the world of a difference. The whole network should probably be oven compensated as well.

content: Quote from: Red Squirrel on April 01, 2017, 08:47:07 amIt is oven/temperature compensated. It is kept at a constant temperature by the "Warm Front" heater.The tolerances have been reverse biased, twisted into opposing pairs and uncompensated for. So it should be fine.

content: When I built this I found that the resistor labelled "120or to taste" was best substituted by Strawberry+jOrange. And make sure to use amark Ibatterang by the 11kg inductor - the markII doesn't work at all, Adam West'll hook you up if you have any problems finding one, butdo notbuy any of the knock-offs from Burt Ward.

content: Quote from: Cerebus on April 02, 2017, 03:43:23 amI'm actually from 2057, and made the circuit for fun. Then when I switched it on, I was time-displaced and teleported back to 2017. As another poster has said, the problem is probably:Quote from: Domagoj T on April 02, 2017, 05:34:51 amHence the huge time drift.I'm trying to build a new one, so that I can get back to 2057, but it needs software, and the software team are having great difficulty, understanding the problem. See Here (picture at bottom of post):Finally, before I go, a quick severe warning from the future (2057), about Trump, whatever you do get ~#%"%&%&"Error 29 - Keyboard battery failure (usually caused by abatteriserfailure). We hope this error does not affect you.Quote from: Harb on April 02, 2017, 04:05:39 am
