Thanks so much!! ^_^
Followup question: Anyone know the inductor values marked at Dr1/Dr2? Unless I'm blind, they're not listed on the schematic.
Thanks very much! ^_^Not super critical, 22-47uH should be plenty.
Thanks! So just ensure the value of DR1 is double DR2, and the specifics, as long as they're withing tolerances, are non-critical?This version of the CMC5 circuit....

.... has different idents for the various inductors.
In the original schematic, the voltage multiplier oscillator (T2) includes an unspecified transformer marked TR1.
This is replaced with two unspecified inductors, DR1 and DR2 in this new version. These are typically within the range 47uH - 150uH, with DR1 being around twice the value of DR2..... These will need to be mounted close to each other, to allow for some magnetic coupling.
In this newer schematic the output series inductors are marked DR3 and DR4, and - as Khron has already described - the values are not critical.
You can, provided the inductances are in the range of tens/hundreds of uHThanks! So just ensure the value of DR1 is double DR2, and the specifics, as long as they're withing tolerances, are non-critical?
I really appreciate the insight.
I might could use a 2:1 transformer then?
As micolas says, it's easier to use miniature low current inductors.Thanks! So just ensure the value of DR1 is double DR2, and the specifics, as long as they're withing tolerances, are non-critical?

Thanks!! This seems like it might be an easier build to work with, from a tinkering perspective. Not least because as it's inside a pencil mic, a transformer's harder to fit. I'm experimenting with trying to get it largely down to SMT components except for some through-holes I wanna tinker with the values on. (a couple different FETs and capacitor values.)This version of the CMC5 circuit....
