Watson- Perhaps I missed it but did anyone suggest a Schottky Diode in
series with a regular Silicon Diode to add up to a one volt drop?
There seems to be a wide selection of Schottkys available.
Can't remember how much current you required.

Cheers, John Stewart


Yeah, I suggested it along with the original schem I posted which was
the same as the bias transistor often used in the power amp totem pole
output stage. The 400 ohm pot looked best when set to 280 ohms B to E
and 120 ohms B to C.

Many excellent alternatives. Thank you to all who replied.
