When DIY Gets Sexxxy (SFW)

From RADIO CRAFT 9/1948: plans and schematics to build a vacuum-tube powered KISS METER. In the post-war period of frenetic coupling and reproduction (via Baby Booms), new technology like this was required to ensure optimum conditions of repopulation.  Apparently.  Download a 3-page PDF here:

We see here the 6J5, long considered to be the most romantic tube.  When two 6J5s love each other very, very much they can combine and create a 6SN7!  HANDS-DOWN WORST JOKE EVER. 

Happy Valentine’s Day!   Schematic below.

  • What we have here is one of several such similar projects, the most famous of which now is the Mathison Electropsychometer. It was the progenitor of the E-Meter used in Scientology (TM). Last I checked, the current model sold by the Church of Scientology was about $7,000. It does nothing that a Simpson 260 can't.
