An audicator is an audio oscillator whose pitch varies with the resistance
across the leads.  I don't know if they are still available.  I built mine
from an article in the magazine published by the smith/ketelwell institute.
I think that the name of the magazine was the technical file.  I don't think
that the magazine is published any longer.
Soneone on the list sent the magazine to me.  I am sorry, but I don't
remember the name.
If I can find the article, I can send it to you.  Let me know.
73,
Clarence
