Can anyone help this chap over in England. I do not have what he is 
asking for. Maybe drop him an e-mail, OK?!

Have a happy glowbugging week everyone! I am still trying to coax an 
old HB 6AC7 VFO into sounding off! So far it refuses to
squeak!

Hi,
You don't have any characteristic data for an EF91, don't know what it
was in the States, and an 807 do you?.  I'm after the whole lot,
curves, rf characteristics and so on.

Cheers

Robin

Hi!

   Tch, all this software!  I've had good luck drawing the layout on
ten-to-inch grid paper, and transferring by eye to the board, using rub-on
resist patterns.  :)  Mostly small stuff and all single-sided, of course.
Biggest thing I ever did was an FM/BC modulation monitor & stereo decoder,
used with a BC receiver with composite output--about 10 ICs plus the usual
odd lot of passive componentry.  (Still works but there's not too much of
interest left on the BC band!)
  
   For single-unit runs, it's an often overlooked but useful method.  Did
have an odd side-effect: I had to have a full battery of neurological &c
tests after an auto accident (no shoulder harness--left a dent in the
steering wheel and dash!) back when I was doing a lot of projects that
way, and in one of 'em, they show you three little pictures (two abstracts
and a skeleton key), have you draw them, then you take a couple of hours
of other tests and they ask you to draw them again from memory.  When I
went back to get the results, the tester was holding both sets and the
original up to the light, trying to figure out how I'd got both copies so
close to the originals.  It took awhile to explain it was a learned and
not innate skill! ;)  (Anyway, the upshot was that like any tube-fan, my
skull was far too thick for the contents thereof to have suffered). 

   73,

Anyone happen to have an old D-104 gathering dust that they'd like to unload?
That shiny Shure hi-ball type mic just doesn't look quite right parked in
front of  my BA and homebrew stuff.
