It has been a while since we last visited Mr. Carlson's lab. As always, we found it amazing. The awesomeness just keeps increasing. Previous visits: https://soldersmoke.blogspot.com/search?q=Carlson
As was the case before, this is really almost too much. THREE DX-100s in the shelves. A massive collection of tubes, some sorted, some un-sorted. But don't worry -- Paul has a good memory and remembers where everything is. I believe him. For his amazing shack and workshop(s) and for his willingness to repair old-time test gear, Paul VE7ZWZ clearly deserves homebrew hero status. Thanks Paul.
In response to popular demand, "SolderSmoke -- Global Adventures in Wireless Electronics" is now available as an e-book for Amazon's Kindle.

The two versions are identical, except for a minor difference in the paper used. That's why the prices are a bit different.

It's so comforting to know that I'm not alone in my enthusiasm for watching 48 minutes of "How to Repot A Transformer." Paul's great.
ReplyDeleteWe must be oscillating on the same frequency; this past weekend, I watched his video about restoring the Super Pro 120.
