Pseudo Japanese accent. Kinda like MAD magazine (40 years ago).


I wasn't reading MAD magazine back then. I spent all my money on
electronics books and parts.

Minor oops on my part twas more like 50 years ago. By 1965 much of my
spare money was going to parts. I had designed a stereo preamp and
built it, dual concentric pots for all controls of that type, mag
phono, tuner and aux with tape loop three band Baxandall tone controls
and headphone amplifier (15 V regulated rails, direct coupled and
uA741 based). Hey, i still have the second generation unit done about
1972 i owe someone here documentation of the headphone amp. I hit
high school after i built it.

When i find it i will send photos and schematics (may have to reverse
engineer it).


I was in grade school 50 years ago, but that was the year I built my
first transistor radio.

I was just getting to high school.
