Does anybody remember Mullard Modules?
Funny you should say that....
In this most recent house move I dumped a little FM Stereo tuner that
was built from a kit in Everyday Electronics (I think),
Consisted of a fancy front panel, 'conti-board' box and three or four
Mullard Modules.

I do remember one of the columnnists building a radiogram for his father
using Mullard Modules.

Didn't they have desigations like LP11?? - ISTR there was a front-end
tuner module, an IF module and a stereo decoder.

Quite possibly.

Strangely, Maplin now have a small collection of similar audio modules,
made in Germany I think, although mostly amplifiers. I expect they'll
add an MP3 decoder soon.

I think I used one of them - made by 'Kemo'.
The local Church wanted a replacement for their old organ - but it had
to be single-manual as opposed to the more usual 'two keyboards one
above the other' approach. Somebody else in the parish donated an old
Yamaha synth, and I ended up 'gutting' an old 2-manual organ, fitting
the synth into it an using one of these little amps to drive the
existing speaker. Sounded pretty good, though I say it myself... g

Now you're going to tell me that these modules are collectors' items -
and fetching a fortune on ebay !
