via frequencycentral in this electro-music.com thread (see the thread for updates over time):"I put this noisy little MF together a couple of weeks ago on the breadboard. It seems to be getting a bit of interest elsewhere so I thought I'd start a thread for it. It uses the application of low-frequency feedback oscillation (motorboating) to create two pulse oscillators with roughly a 25% duty cycle. The top osc is LF, the bottom one HF. Not a perfect device by any means, but fun and capable of making an unholy racket. I used two 6111 submini tubes, but it should work fine with 12AU7, possible 12AT7 and 12AX7 too - just change the pinouts and power the heaters correctly. I breadboarded it, recorded it, drew up the schemo then took it apart. I made it up again from the schemo a week later just to check it wasn't a fluke! I expect it would benefit from a buffer at the output. The pots don't work across the entire range. It would be cool to use a joystick instead of pots, and possibly feed the two osc into a ring mod. Fully open for hacking, development and general ear abuse. Oh, and if you do build it you're as crazy as me!
