So what have you been buying? I only need a order
every other year.
Tubes, transformers, chokes. Some ham and audio stuff,
but one of my latest projects
does digital logic with several dozen 6SN7's. No, it's not
actually a "computer" in that it's not programmable but my
next thoughts are turning to that arena. The first programmable
stuff I might do would end up being plugboard programming,
most likely.
I've recently been playing with heptodes as logic gates (and
gotten many 7036's with IBM labels from AES. They're
dirt cheap, and if I do it right each will replace 1 to 3 6SN7's!)
