I've thought about this a minute. A whole beery minute.
I too would be interested in a pair of these to put in a junkbox. Maybe one day I'd get good enough to figure out how to modulate even order distortion into odd order distortion using these in place of a degeneration resistor, a'la Papa's elegant experiment. But for now that is very far away. Even so, the junkbox beckons.
Is anyone here actually seeking a profit motive in reward for their engagement?
I'd pay costs, to prevent these potentially future-useful devices from becoming trash, but no more.
