Good suggestion. I built mine nearly fifteen years ago and I don't know exactly what you get when you order that part today (or exactly how it's marked). There aren't many parts in this rudimentary project, so the solution should be straightforward.
Nice job of construction, by the way. Once you get your transmitter working, send me a PM if you would like me to include a photo or two at the end of that article.

P.S. As a last resort when debugging a project, I put away the original schematic and draw a new one by hand, looking
only at what I have built. This forces you to look at things with fresh eyes. It's still maddeningly easy (for me, at least) to overlook a small mistake.
