Ravi,
I will continue to study this circuit and the materials that you have suggested. Is it your opinion that UC3844A is the oscillator? The Data sheet for the device seems to indicate that it is. The supply that Mr. Carlson studies uses an 14 or 16 DIP IC containing the oscillator, therefore I assumed that the aforementioned component was similar in function. I am in no hurry and I appreciate your feedback.
