I am looking to purchase the first 8 copies of the Maplin Electronics
magazines.

If you have them and would like to let them go, please PM me.

MD105s are still about. But it's been a while since I've seen any
SBL-1s advertised.

Should read MD108 not 105.

Sounds like a collector to me.

Mini Circuits still make the SBL-1+. Anzac were taken over many moons
ago by M/Acom, who in turn were taken over by Tyco. They did keep the
MD-108 going for a while but it finally vanished some years ago.

It was the very best of electronic magazines I have ever come across. I
taught me a hell of a lot. One thing I will never forget was the article
about frequency synthesis. The picture of a bird swallowing pulses from
the stream will live with me for ever.

I wish I had saved more content for archives though.

Me too, their MC145151 PLL kit made a hell of a useful frequency
generator to substitute for Xtals.

When i later worked on Tate T500 PBR mobiles, their MC145152
dual modulas version of MC145151 PLL were already second nature to me.

I bought a couple of SBLs back in the Early 80s - from Cirkit in fact.
I used one in a new mixer stage I built for a much modified HW-7 - it
did a fantastic job on the microphonics that tcvr was prone to.

The other one is still in its original packing and I'm sure I'll get
around to using it one day ... even if I haven't in the last 25+
years. :-)

Yes they have the main ones useful for simple hom brew QRP HF transmitters

If digital copies ok then it's worth checking Scribd.

I bought some new-old AC128 transistors about 6 months ago. I'll probably
still have them in the same state in 25+ years! ;-)

Sounds like a collector to me.

Could be a base or emitter though.

That must be the source of me laughing like a drain, then.
