[sdiy] HUGE library of scanned science magazines including electronics stuff !!!!

[Roman Sowa]

anything that can be DIY at home.

few days ago my daughter pulled out some old electronics magazines and 
while browsing we have found 2 series of articles about pretty big synth 
DIY projects I didn't see before. Despite obvious limitations, those 
were very complex circuit, considering they were from 1981 and 1983, 
when it was a challange to buy bread and butter (literally), not to 
mention integrated circuits.

That gave me so much energy that I returned to my old VCO project and 
finally soldered it. It was so fun that I spent 3 working days just 
playing, tweaking, changing components, cutting traces.

Then I posted it on facebook, got more likes than ever before, that 
inspired other people to reveal their tiny SMD VCOs, and now I want to 
make more of that stuff and finally a polysynth again...

Bottom line, it's good to keep old magazines, because you never know, it 
may turn your world around someday.
