But spring of '68? Nope, not buying that one! ;-)

FWIW, when I got mine, it was in 1972 or '73.

"2001 - A Space Odessy" Came out in April '68 and the 8008 was introduced in April of '72, a full four years later. Sorry, we're not buying your "Daisy Daisy" on the 8008 "shortly after the release of "2001: A Space Odyssey."". ;-)
You have to remember that he was in a cloud of pot smoke, that whole time. :(
2001: A Space Odyssey didn't hit the base theater in Alaska until '73 or '74. At about the same time as American Graffiti.-- Politicians should only get paid if the budget is balanced, and there is enough left over to pay them.
Maybe you can't, i still can. I could hear sine tones past 22,000 Hz as = a teen.
I've had to scrap several SVGA monitors because I could hear the horizontal sweep. :(

Sadly, that's just an oscillator, rather than a voltage controlled oscillator.
The VCO in CD4046/MC14046 is about as simple as it gets. You get a few extra components in the package, but you can ignore them.
Voltage-to-frequency converters are even simpler, but tend to be more expensive these days.

Well, if you add another resistor, you'll get a VCO. It won't be linear, but hey... the guy said "simplest"!
I would, of course, take that one step further by reducing the schmitt trigger (which might be, say, 6 transistors for a CMOS) to a pair of transistors, or anything with negative resistance (tunnel diode, neon tube..).
