Some notes about the materials:

C1, C2, and C4 are minimum (you can replace them with higher valued caps)

The requirement for the potentiometers R1, R2, R3 is that they are the same value. They can even be replaced by equal-valued resistors.

U1 can be replaced by any equivalent op amp, such as the cheaper LM324

The servo can probably be different, but I cannot guarantee another servo will recognize the PWM commands. I tried the HS-325HB servo and it did nothing but twitch.
