[sdiy] Old electronics magazines

[Mark Codling]

The mapin support team have all the old mags on CD.
I managed to get them to track down a digital delay kit article for me.

If you get the right guy on the right day he might have a trawl

In the UK, the Maplin magazine used to have some good stompbox and synth
stuff, though that was not its main focus. Don't know if it's turned up on
the web anywhere yet. I still have a soft spot for the autowah circuit from
Maplin. It was a LM13700-based 12dB/oct SVF driven by an envelope follower,
and had a very aggressive "waccawacca" sound.

there was a good series of articles on cmos and op amps.

Practical Electronics is pretty good too. Australia's Silicon Chip is a fun
read. Elektor (from the Netherlands) started publishing in English in 1975;
I've seen good articles in it.
