Thank you, I have all three of those from Creek themselves. None is the same as the amp I'm working on. For RW's amusement I attach part of the v1 circuit for the 4040 amplifier.

There's also an image of the amp on the bench. Those of you who care will note that there are significant differences between the physical and the theoretical. Personally, I am not far away from throwing it into landfill.
