The transistor pair 423 of the comparator is realized as a CA3183E transistor array in a PDIP package.
Cutting the gate of the BF245 JFET out of circuit and feeding the blue signal into it. Red is the final output, I can control the amplitude and waveform just fine. Green and yellow are the bases of the two comparator transistors 423.
Blue is still the input to the gate of the JFET, red the final output. Green the base of the second transistor of the comparator pair, yellow the signal at the junction of the emitter of 365 and collector of 366. According to the schematic the amplitude there should be 5V. Blue cuts out for anything below 5.2V however. Curious. No idea if I'm onto something.
Adjusting pots 830 and 837 of the comparator for 50% duty cycle and stable triggering for 5V signal amplitude
