Schockley Diode

This would be a nice addition... 1N5158 for example

I think there might still be one or two left in the spares cupboard aboard the Ark ...

See:

That's hilarious, I had no idea. :-) I found a circuit in a textbook for making a sawtooth generator out of just a Shockley diode, a resistor and a capacitor, and wanted to try it out. Since there was no Shockley diode, I tried to rig one up using one NPN and one PNP BJT, but it didn't really work.

Is there a plan to make the SCR model work?
