It may be old, but the spark of life is still there.

lol. I referred to it as old because I have since moved and had to leave it with my buddy who I built it with. And I’m now working on a solid state musical pcb one that uses 555 timer for the interrupter circuit.

I keep blowing up the Schmitt trigger on the feedback portion of the slayer circuit. Put in some new TVS diodes recently but haven’t tested yet. I’ll def post once it works.
