OK .. if we are going nostalgic.
I bought my Sinclair Black watch kit from an Add in Practical
Electronics - really cool :-)
I bought an Haversonic stereo amp kit from Practical Electronics ...
only took about 6 months to build and get working, using of course a
trusty twin beam scope and Avo 8.
I buily quite a few variants of John Linley Hood projects .. he was the
manin man of audio designs. (not sure if he is still around)
A legend in his own linear response
I have serveral years worth of ETI ... which I thought was the best of
the bunch until it went EPROM & micropocessor based on everything ...
so stopped buying it in mid 80's (is it still going ?)
Which was different to Tomorrows World at the time, how exactly ?
Watford Electronics was the way of the future - sold everthting !
Cardiff Road was 5 minutes walk - I went past the place a fortnight ago
Have the first few years worth of issues of Everday Electronics,
staryting with issue 1 and free veroboard kit ! .. .still has pack of
resistors stapled to front page !
And the resistor wire bending former, and ...
As somebody else said ... proably time to put them all in recycle bin.
memories, eh ?
