Old tremolo kit? (longish)
Hi all , I've been given a tremolo pedal that seems to have been built from a Tandy Electronics kit . Tandy is the Australian arm of Intertan (Radioshack in the U.S.A.)  
 
It's based around a 555 timer chip (setup as an astable multivibrator with adjustable duty cycle ) and a handful of other components . It sort of works but only in a very limited range .  
 
My question is has any one else had any experience with this circuit ? Would there be any chance at all of a circuit diagram being around somewhere ?  
 
I have traced the circuit as far as i'm able but some of it doesn't seem to make much sense to me , with my limited knowledge . I will e-mail my tracing if someone would like to examine it for possible errors .  
 
Thanks in advance , Greg N.
