What if: Engineering design modifications to AA5 AM radios to run on 240V AC
Radio cabinet styling WHAT IF for the late 50's
Operate an AA5 AM radio on 100V AC: diagram
Modify the AM detector in an AA5 for better modulation acceptance and fidelity

Electronic vacuum tube volume control using dual control pentodes and a remote control DC bias.
More electronic vacuum tube volume controls using common tubes: either a 6HS8 TV tube or 6BE6 pentagrid radio tubes, and a remote control DC bias.
FM MPX Stereo demodulator using TV tubes like the 6HS8, with PLL stereo demod chips (to recover the 38KHz demultiplex frequency).
Modifying CD players so the DAC chips inside drive tube amplifiers directly without op-amp circuits.
What if: Radio that never was, single tube "AA5"
Some vacuum tube Spice 3f4 models I made up.
And some vacuum tube spice 3f4 models from elsewhere on the 'net.
And some done by Andrei Frolov
And some done using Andrei Frolov's software
And a zip file of some from Ayumi's Lab
And another zip file again from Ayumi's Lab
If you can read Japanese: Ayumi's Lab web page, I can't read it, but it looks interesting

CELEBRATING 36 YEARS ON THE INTERNET!


July 1987 (back before the world wide web existed) to Jan 1991: rfc@philabs.philips.com
Discovered newsgroups late '87, unix based "rn" newsreader

April 1991 to April 1993: wa2ise@cbnewsb.att.com
Unix "rn" again, at 1200 baud on a VT100! With the terrible boss I had there, it was "Hell Labs"

May 1993 to 2000: wa2ise@netcom.com
A unix shell personal account at a commercial ISP, more "rn".

Nov 1996 to now: wa2ise@ix.netcom.com
wanted access to the WWW, and a web page!
And back in 2008 got my own domain, wa2ise.com. Had to migrate my netcom pages to here in 2019.

Guess this makes me an Internet old-timer.
