In the set of components there are three diodes. D1 & D2 are 1N4148. The other one is in the o/p stage. On my diagram D3 is given as 1N4118, which would be a Zener diode. However I was supplied with three 1N4148. If that is an error, then it was not the only one in the components. For C3 I ought to have had a 0.01uf but there were only 0.022uf & I looked at every single disc ceramic capacitor in case I missed it. I used one of my own stock.
Goodness knows if there have been revisions from the diagram. I don't read whatever Chinese language the leaflet is printed in.
