Green Ringer Diodes

[thesmokingman]

I remember building my green ringer to EQD Tentacle specs (diodes are 1n4148/1n914) and that the build docs mentioned matching up the diodes, which I did ... that said I see most green ringer projects use germaniums or other low Vf diodes ... the effect does work, but I'm wondering if my diode choices were poor and should be the lower Vf ... any input welcome
