Here we go, a big debate!

I did not mean to start a AH style debate and inevitable flame war! This is my fault! What I meant by my comment "you did not give the date of the Carlos recording' was to clarify whether she or Craig Anderton made/used this style device first..indeed I believe it is most likely the unit she used was in fact one manufactured by Craig's Royal Union Electronics, as I do rmember he made them with the big knob marked exactly as described...as per Craig's legendary designer reputation I strongly suspect these as made by him, were quality , rugged units and at least a small handfull are sitll in use..they would be truly a valuable e bay find! I hope anyone following this thread with a set of electronotes from the earlyest years 72-76 would kinly dig through them for the details...Anyone know Craig or have his e mail address? Please contact him and inquire. I am sure many motm's would gladly order schematics from him to build their own. "Tkacs, Ken" wrote:
