[sdiy] Audio circuits and basic electronics knowledge recommendation. MIMS

[Rob]

The Forest Mims books were available in Radio Shack.... until my local 
RS closed.
The pocket manuals covered topics but one particular good complete book is
GETTING STARTED IN ELECTRONICS by FORREST M MIMS
which now can be downloaded for free all over the internet.
It is a copyrighted book so I don't understand why it is available 
everywhere as PDF.
The first 100 pages of this book teaches what components do with detail 
examples drawn
for newbies and then the last 27 pages shows complete example circuits 
that work.
One particular circuit of interest is page 105 High voltage power 
supply.... 170 volts output from a 9 volt battery...
nothing to kill you ... not a taser... but it will cure back pain if 
built as a TENS unit.
