Resistances in Ohms and Capacitances in microfarads unless otherwise indicated.

Note 1: Resistors are 0·5W 10% except those marked CF which are Carbon Film 2%, and those marked WW which are wirewound 10%.

Note 2: R19 and R22 are selected from 1 Ohm 10%, R15 and R17 selected as follows:
    R19 and R22 in range 0.90 - 0·95 Ohms, then R15 and R17 = 220 Ohms
    R19 and R22 in range 0·95 - 1 Ohms, then R15 and R17 = 240 Ohms
    R19 and R22 in range 1 - 1·05 Ohms, then R15 and R17 = 250 Ohms
    R19 and R22 in range 1·05 - 1·1 Ohms, then R15 and R17 = 270 Ohms.

Note 3: X1+X2, X3+X4 selected to give combined forward voltage drop of 1·38 volts (cold) at 4mA.

Note 4: VT4 and VT6 are a matched pair.
