VERY NICE!!!!!

It has 4.7GB of pdf files (320 documents).

With LOTS of Amperex, Elmac, Mullard, RCA, Sylvania manuals along with a scattering of many others.
And that's just the technical manuals.

The design and application manuals are extensive as well.

For a tube-O-phile, it's a deep look into the subject of tubes thru the years.

And if you are REALLY into Tesla there was a collection of his 'patent wrappers' which is a 'book' about 2.5" thick, which has most of his patents that were submitted to the patent office.
My collection of Tesla material is nearly 12" thick and has much of his writings and related research, like his Colorado Springs research notes.

Miscutting isn't failure.
It's adding character to your build.

Not really something I’d like to hear from a doctor! XD

Hi @Jason Stoddard
The new product will have a new name or just new number?

It has to be said, there can't be too much (or even enough) Blackadder in this thread.

Therefore, Blackadder and tactics during WW1

I was actually looking for the "convincing wound", but couldn't find it.....

I'm not too concerned about hearing that from a doctor, a surgeon on the other hand........

Indeed, I was a trauma specialist. Likely the damage always was already done.

An 1888 Tesla Motor Patent?!

Until now, I thought Musk was just a smart, eccentric/crazy/looney/take-your-pick, entrepreneur/inventor/engineer/etc...

Turns out, he either discovered the fountain of youth or is He-who-must-not-be-named

Nah, Tesla isn't Elon Musk or he-who-must-not-be-named. He's David Bowie:

That was a good movie.

Very useful info indeed! There are people on Ebay asking $12.95 per pdf. I prefer paper for reference materials but sometimes you have to take what you can get.

There is a very good book entitled Thunderstruck by Erik Larson that details a lot of early work done by Marconi, naturally Tesla is mentioned as well. It has been said that when Tesla first learned about the use of radio transmission, he immediately realized that video and audio could be sent from place to place. I have heard it asked, "who 100 years ago could have predicted television and cell phones?" Nikola Tesla

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine. (N.T.)

Once upon a time I attended motocross races in upstate New York (that rural part of New York State that is not New York City and surroundings) where a constant part of the festivities were for crowds to sit on opposite sides of a gully, consume alcohol, and shout "the other side sucks" at each other.

My God, that’s beautiful.

Well, I'm hoping that if @Jason Stoddard ever puts out a design like that, someone will take him on one side and give him his meds. I do have the HiFiBerry case for the Rpi and balanced HAT and it is fuggly. Really fuggly.

So my plan is to canibalize the Magni2, stick a raspberry transfer (decal) on the front and everything will match. Especially when they stop laughing at my Freya and send that back! Pictures MAAAAY be forthcoming in due course.

Any time one can make @SchiitFerBrainz & his fellow hombres guffaw at our pimped-out stacks is a good day!

One of the most useful documents in this collection is the Radiotron Designer's Handbook by F. Langford-Smith. Engineers in our company were still using it in the late 1980s. the sections on amplifiers, distortion, and feedback are especially useful.
