[sdiy] tapehead stuff

[patchell]

    If you can find one, the old GE transistor manual has circuits in it for the
recording circuits.  I can't remember exactly which year, but, I think it was
the 1964 vintage one.  I might be off by a year or so.  I would kill to have one
of those manual again.  Never did figure out what happened to mine.  It
disapeared about 30 years ago (sob!).  That data book had what I thought to be
some really cool circuits.  It may be that time has made them seem more cool
than they really were.  Anyway, I did build the tape circuits in that book
(around 1969) and interfaced them to an old Viking Tape transport that was given
to me.
