Blind Rasputin

Blind Rasputin is a single transistor oscillator built using the point to point soldering technique...

Deceptively simple, Blind Rasputin's pitch/rate pot sweep goes from low thumping to spastic buzzing with everything in between...

The top panel contains a photo resistor that is activated when the pitch pot is at it's lowest depth...

       WARNING    

  Experimentation with various light sources can lead to obsessive oscillator disorder...

A condition in which the individual interacting with the machine loses all sense of time, space and self...

Knob 1: Volume 

Knob 2: Rate/Time 

Switch 1: Power (9 volt battery included)

Switch 2: Pitch shift 

In general, I make every circuit from scratch, by hand, using blank stripboard or point to point soldering...

However I occasionally 

re-purpose or circuit bend existing boards...

My current enclosures are re-purposed boxes and tins with artwork that I cut out of old books and magazines...NO A.I...
