The schematics I've seen so far show a *three* pin device, with a pin to ground. And are external caps required? And while you're here, everyone who's an electronics bod will know instinctively how to make a Wein Bridge oscillator, but I'm a computer bod, so I don't. If anyone could oblige with a schematic (ascii or otherwise) with values on components, I'd be very grateful. Horowitz and Hill have an example, but with a miniature incandescent lamp that I can't identify. Adjustable frequency would be a special bonus. Regards John Midgley
