Heres a worthy update

Drilled out the fronts of the cases, included a square hole for the slide switch. fiddly..
Keen eyed might notice a subtle change to the decal for the unit(s) to be sold.... ;)

Such wiring. Much hours. Many tired. Wow

Does work though, fired up first time ;)
Some experimenting to do with LDRs when Small bear sends out my order :grumpy:

So, this actually happened, then.
Needs a minor tweak then I'll complete the 2nd one.
So far, the Flange (Time) circuit sounds very close to the original; The Trem (Space) circuit needs more depth, but I know the reason and its just waiting on a specific LDR to allow deeper sweep.

Does it do phase and trem too from what I'm getting looking at the front of it?

Yes it does all manner of stuff.
Sine a square wave tremolo either independently or interactively with the time circuit.
It has centre off reaction and action ( regen and level respectively) which offer odd or even harmonics for that cool hollowed out vowely phase shifty flange as well as the more traditional swooshy sound.

Best bet is to see some youtube demos
I'll dig up a good link...
