I can't wait!

Thanks for Sharon.

Post by: RayP on December 21, 2011, 11:55:26 AM: I believe the schematic has an error. The 'Moral Rectifier' is incorrectly shown backward. You can read more about a 'Larom Rectifier' at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAROM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAROM). I believe it can be quite effective in rectifying certain situations.

Check out the" "money poster and the "universe on a log scale". I have no affiliation. Just love the art and the humor.

Post by: Chris on December 21, 2011, 05:14:49 PM: Nah, the unscrupulous third-world wannabes are already light years ahead with such techniques as "gall bladder rectification" and the like... Speaking of which.... WHERE is the Gall Bladder in this circuit??

I did entertain the thought of doing that for a few moments then decided there were other things to do. Yes, seriously!

I was thinking the same thing but reconsidered since I didn't want to appear too tube-geeky.
