[AAVSO-HEN] The SID Gyator II schematic has an error in it.

[Rodney Howe]

Aaron,

I have to give this advice to new folks trying to build the Gyrator II:

This blueprint has a mistake on the back-end, there is a short between the diodes,  So, don't use this schematic!

Perhaps you can ask if someone on the list can re-design the schematic?   My guess is, folks don't complain much because the FAR circuit board is correct. But, for folks tyring to build it without the FAR board, it can cause problems.
