Thanks, Salas.
Concerning the circuit on post #907, 8mA (Q4) on 200kohm (R4, R10) will drop 1,600V, so one of the two values is wrong.

No, 8ma its the free IDSS rating with a 9V battery test. The trimmer between g,s takes it down and gives us the Vout setting choice. It can even be a higher value trimmer. An 8mA IDSS 2SK170BL gives about 2mA with around 100R between g,s for instance at this circuit's VDS, under the BJT margin that is snugged in, and protected.
 
Here are all my practice

Here are all my practice “Simpler Simplistic'', please see,
Thanks a lot Salas!!!

I see a lot of potential for confusion and sparks; the circuit lends itself very well to point-to-point wiring. This will also force you to read the schematic carefully and check your work well. Using someone's less the thorough tested pcb is quite risky.
