everal intercom circuits have ap-
peared in EFY using integrated
circuits. The circuit described here
uses three easily available transistors
only. Even a beginner can easily as-
semble it on a piece of veroboard.
The circuit comprises a 3-stage
resistor-capacitor coupled amplifier.
When ring button S2 is pressed, the
amplifier circuit formed around tran-
sistors T1 and T2
gets converted into

astable multivib-ra- this intercom is 10 to 15 mA
tor generating ring only. Thus a 9-volt PP3 battery
signals. These ring would have a long life, when
signals are ampli- used in this circuit.
