Funkschau / 100 Years of ...

[Martin Czech]

Mainly for our German friends, but read on:

A collegue mailed that he was about to dispose his collection of the
"Funkschau", all technical parts from 197x to today. (This publication
was a quite important forum for electronics in Germany , since ever
(1920s or so). Today it is more or less crap, if you ask me...).  Now,
I couldn't let him go on with destroing this, and now I have all stuff
(20 folders) or so at home, on my 45 square meters. The only place I
could store them is my bedroom. This comes handy, one folder per
evening...  However, my fault.  I just can't throw anything away.

There's rf stuff as well as strange loadspeaker and audio stuff (ever
heard of Manger transducers ?).  I found at first sight:

-double report on Sennheiser vocoder ( & pics of frame and boards)
-semi automatic instrument tuning circuit (interesting pll example)
-proposals for crossovers with small phase error
-reviews on headphone measurements (listening test versus measurements) 
-Walter Bruch's (yes , the inventor of PAL) permanent series about 100 
 years of audio recording  (pics, pics)
....

Slowly I will dig through that pile of paper, there are indexes for
every year. Collect mainly all audio related stuff, and maybe throw away the
rest.  Well, I'll keep the 20 folders, they're 3.50 DM each, man that's
another 70,- DM saved ;->


If anyone is interested, I could supply (private) email of what I have found.
Since I don't have a scanner, I could provide snail-mail, given some 
compensation for my expenses (postage).
