construction notes are included where appropriate. Some examples: Direct
Disc Recording; Practical Design of an Electronic Piano; A Laboratory
Television Receiver; Voltage Regulators Using Magnetic Saturation; A Special
Events Transmitter (dynamotor-powered rig with 807 modulated by PP 6L6’s in
2 suitcases!); A Low Distortion Limiting Amplifier; Circuit Design Related
