[sdiy] RE: how it all started

[St Eric's...]

Haha grappig - I mean funny,

I had the same philips boxes..
The springs they used where pretty painfull though...my fingers were blue
after building that organ.
I didn't like the keys they used.

Looks familiar! The Bush had 4 (four) transistors included, all BC238.
No pnp's - I guess the analogy in the booklet would have been too
difficult with water also flowing upstream. (;->)

I envied a friend who had the Philips system, because it could use
normal transistors instead of mounting them to large plastic sockets.
And it had included a BF194 as well, which helped a lot for the radio
and HF experiments.

My other big hobby at the time was chemistry (Kosmos Chemie 2000),
which soon led into pyrotechnics and related fields. I still remember
the day when my parent's house was filled with tear gas - the bromine
acetone experiment was more effective than I had expected.

In the end, the electronics hobby was more interesting, especially
as it focused on music electronics.
