Art, you were reading my mind. I'm already downloading a bunch of these for etch images. New contest? 

Thanks Jimi!

I'm partial to 'imperial assload', personally.

1) Thanks, Jack.  You're a pal.  

2) Hoochie MAMA!!!

3) The younguns here should go to that site, called up an issue from the early 80's, and flip through the pages at the back of the issue to get a sense of the prices and availability of things at that time.

4) Thomas Henry has a nice little article in the July 1983 issue on using transconductance amplifiers.  And I imagine somewhere in that archive is the Mod Box construction project from Jack and Thomas.

Wow! Hey, maybe this e-lectricity stuff is going to be more than just a fad after all.

A lot of the old books and articles ought to be interesting. Let's see who can be the first to make a fuzz box using a spark gap generator. (I'd say use a Tesla coil as well, but I think someone already made a plasma speaker, which kind of looked similar, sort of, kind of.)

speaking of mad old nikki tesla, I read somewhere (http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=70160.0 reply #5) that R.G. created electricity, and was wondering if tesla ever met the great man.
