I have a pile of Popular Electronics/Electronics Now/Poptronix from
around 1996 through 2000 and a bit more. Not complete. Probably 10-15 pounds worth. Just pay media mail/book rate shipping from zip 19004 and they're yours. While some of the technology is dated, at least these have projects that don't all involve software! ![]() -- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: Anything sent to the email address in the message header above is ignored unless my full name AND either lasers or electronics is included in the subject line.

Maplin in the UK produced some super in house kits then - some of which I still use. Notably a very decent low distortion signal generator and a wheatstone bridge continuity tester which gives a different 'tone' according to the resistance. Oh - and a solder station. All of which were good value compared to commercial products. -- *There's no place like www.home.com * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
