I finished the change to the circuit so that it takes a 2 wire pot instead of a 3 wire pot. Now, it's compatible with a plain old ordinary PB-6! Or for you cheapskates out there, you can still use a $2 5k pot from Radio Shack. Just ignore one of the 2 end prongs. Just use the middle one (washer) and one end prong. I estimated that it would take 1 hour to design and implement the new circuit, which uses an LM317. It took way longer! I am a slow poke! Dang me dang me, someone take a rope and hang me. hang me from the highest tree, darling won't you wait for me?

Note: I haven't tested it yet. I'll do that later tonight or tomorrow.

Stuff's acomin' in the mail. I's real excited. Real, Real excited.
