Rev.8.Nov.28.2004

In this layout you can build either the Dynacomp or Ross compressor. These circuits are so similar that
they can be constructed around the same printed circuit board. Most of the
parts are common to both circuits, the ones that arent are outlined orange on the layout, use the parts
list to substitute with the values for the circuit you choose to build. Off board components except
for the potentiometers are not shown on the layout. The components surrounded by dotted line on
the schematic are mods by R.G. Keen http://www.geofex.com. Trademarks remain property of their
owners. 500k-B
