Highlights from the SolderSmoke perspective:
Page 34 Glass Capacitors. Phil W1PJE left me some.
Page 48 Ferrite Beads. Underrated. People often don't think they will work.
Page 66 Glass-Encapsulated Diodes. Yes, 1N4148's in our Direct Conversion Receiver.
Page 70 2N2222. In a metal can.
Page 72 2N3904. We use them so often.
Page 90 Color LEDs. The Green Hornet beacon in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic.
Page 116 Electromagnetic Relay. We use them a lot.
Page 142 DIP sockets I recently struggled with them with my NE602 chips.
Page 182 12AX7. Thermatron!
Page 186 Cathode Ray Tube. I have some. CuriousMarc recently fixed one.
Page 190 Mercury Tilt Switch. I had one as a kid. You can change a reflector to a director.
Page 196 Dipped Silver Mica Capacitor. We use them. A lot. Sometimes as NP0 caps.
Page 198 IF transformer. S-38E. HQ-100.
Page 206 - 207 Point Contact Diode and Germanium Diodes. Crystal radios. Great fun.
Page 210 Windowed EPROM. Was this the Rom chip in the TW-100s?
Page 212 Core Memory. Rope! As used in the Apollo spacecraft.
Page 228 Single-Side Printed Circuit Boards. Almost (but not quite) Manhattan.
Page 238 MicroSD Card. I have one in my Drone.
Page 262 Crystal Oscillator. TCXO? In a can? As in Dean's WSPR transmitter?
What do you guys think?
