808 PARTLIST AND DUCUMENTATION

The parts marked with "MOD" are for the modifications, if you want an original TR-808 clone
without any changes these parts can be left out.
In this case some changes are needed :
Where a on/off Switch for the Function is build in a bridge is needed, where pots are used a
resistor must be mounted instead of a connector ...
The original Values will be in the following module list.
First ive used BC639 NPN and BC640 PNP Transistors in my prototyp and in most cases they
worked fine only in the noise generator i noticed a big change when the original 2SC828 (RNZ) was finaly
used.
But i think the original ones are a better choice ...
www.Reichelt.de has all the original Japan Transistors
