So you're saying that if I want to build this, I can just use a piezo buzzer instead of the transducer?Does the piezo transducer have to be 273-073? Besides, what does it even mean?
If you use that piezo transducer, all you will hear is a click or popping sound. Most everyone builds the flux capacitor with a piezo buzzer instead.
The choice is yours to make. I can tell you that I made one with a piezo buzzer and it did not work. Just today I was looking through some archived info and the instructions use that piezo transducer. And tuning instructions definitely describe a click or a pop will be heard. So it could be quite possible that all of us that build this are making an error in choosing the piezo buzzer instead. Of course the info I accessed also says to use a 44 volt variable power supply. And it definitely helps if you use the capacitance value of the earth. So you need to fiddle around with capacitor values to achieve the correct capacitance.
