The Blackbox Revived


Published on Jun 24, 2019 Todd Barton

"Yesterday I pulled out this little blackbox and was delighted that it still worked having been gifted it in the 1980's. I posted a little something on Instagram @synthtodd and immediately a friend posted that that day he had coincidentally been searching for the schematics, he had remembered building one back in the day.
Amazing synchronicity!! Here is his MW thread with more info including the original article from Popular Electronics: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/vie...
And . . . Logan Erickson at Low-Gain Electronics & ToneWrecker Devices will be revitalizing this unit soon!!! @lowgain @tonewreckerdevices"

Apparently this is the circuitry featured in the Bongotnik previously featured here. Also check out the updated Bongotnik 2 here.  The following are scans of the project from Popular Electronics via the muff thread.
