How are y’all doin. Sorry I’ve been away for so long; it’s been real busy ’round here, and like my Pops always says, you gotta make hay while the sun shines. But… there’s only so farming you can do without yr back giving out, so I’m taking a little break to re-stock Ye Ole Country Store (aka Blog) with piles of new stuff. Been a good coupla weeks at the flea market, annoying camera-crews aside (see my Tumblr for details). Recently picked up a very large collection of circa 1950 DIY Electronics publications, and I’ve culled the cream-of-the-crop for y’all: some still-useful audio projects, and lots of interesting but forgotten bits and bobs from the pre-transistor era. Schematics and project notes on some unique amplifiers, preamps, and even a novel compressor design that promises some unique sounds. I’ll be posting a dozen or so of these pieces over the next couple of weeks; in the meantime, here’s a quick visual sampler of what yr in for.

Your insane! What is all that stuff? LOL’s
That stuff is an ancient echo from the genesis pit of our modern electronically-mediated culture. See also: https://www.preservationsound.com/?p=908

I’d like to see all these old magazines offered as .pdf’s. We need to change the copyright laws because the length is too long. Also, there should be a use-it-or-lose-it aspect to copyright.
