Hi Dan,
I'd be very interested as well, so let us know if you find out
anything from another source.

I have recently taken a look at journals, mostly stuff that has to do
with measurement and analog design, and compiled a small list, which I
included below. I added info from your email but I didn't include it
here obviously.

>From the below, BSTJ and the GenRad Experimenter are great sources of
vintage circuits. BSTJ has ground-breaking audio information available
within its 50 GIGABYTES of files that you can download from a torrent
(be patient).

The HP and Tek journals are great. You learn a lot about electronics
by learning how to measure it... and the measurement apparatus is also
made out of electronics, funnily enough.

Cheers,
D.
