Minor Experiments in Electronics |
Today's Experiment |
Recently I uncovered a cardboard box from the attic. What an amazing assortment of electronics goodies from the 1980's in contained! I thought the contents of this box was long-lost after one of my many moves throughout the years. Eventually, I'll catalog the stuff worthy of note here on this page. For now, we'll begin with some of the IC's discovered among this collection.
Here's a list of the Good Stuff pictured above:
The other ICs (mostly in the right-most column in the above picture) are more recent ones I added because this box has handy antistatic foam. They are otherwise unworthy of inclusion in this Blast from The Past page. The good thing about all this? It all actually works! Even the SC-01A! With any luck, I'll post some MP3s of the output of this bizarre IC in the Votrax SC-01 area. Here's another Blast from The Past:
That's a Varian VA-221A (64kB) Reflex Klystron marked as a Sylvania SK-221A. I picked it up at the Shelby, N.C. hamfest for a few bucks. More images of it here (the waveguide port) and here (another overview). |
