How ironic that an engineering mistake which produced a unique "bad" batch of transistors also produced another engineering mistake. It's bad practice to make use of not reproducible parts, especially as such a unique noise source which basicaly defines a musical instrument. One of the most iconic electronic musical instruments ever created was born by engineering mistakes!

But, is there even a way to produce and reproduce a consistent physical noise source that generates the same noise with each physical copy?
