Today an odd, seldom seen, guest arrived at my workshop, in a non working state, already dissasembled, but all parts included, will try to get this one back to life. One of the Knapp Tfet modules looks a bit swollen, also modifications made. Ingvar

Growing older, day by day (not very uncommon I´m told) probably forgotten most of the things I never understood, some thou seems not to go away. I will never understand people who think their opinion is fact, nor those who refuse to accept other opinions than their own. The never ending cable...

Since I bought the Electro Researc A75 in May this year I have thought/pondered a bit around the odd/strange companies and products that I have come across since my entrance into this world/business in the late 60:s/early 70:s. Those companies with their products was sometimes active on a...
