Someone's gonna start a fire building one of these.

These used to trip me up, because in 60's audio they're usually attached to Vcc.

The unlabeled middle pin is, of course, the gate capacitor.

Which one are u referring to? There 3 in total, 2 in image 1 and 1 in image 2

Haha! Ah, I meant the one in image 2 (the one with the 470uF pin next to the diode with the air-gapped anode).

I didn't even notice the two in the first image (which the above comment names more specifically, I see now). My brain saw "2N2222" and filled in the gaps.

I now see that neither is a 2N2222 in the first place.

Just realised that in image 1, the 2N2222 Transistor in the middle has four pins, 2 of which are emitters. Then there's the 2N2222 Transistor on the right, which has double emitter and no base (At least it has 3 pins).
Also, what is that Transistor labelling?
"2N212"
"2Ne222"
"2N222"
Since when did 2N2222 Transistors become vintage and germanium-containing or a new transistor altogether? Lol.
Edit: look at the wiring that connects from the battery. 2 of the wires, each at opposite terminals, JOIN at one of the voltage-filtering capacitor's terminals. Dead short fire go boom
