If anyone wants to test 300B triodes on a valve tester that doesn't support these valves, click here to read how I solved the problem with my B&K Dyna-Jet Valve (Tube) Tester Model 606.
For anyone interested in television engineering, I wrote an article for Wireless World back in 1979 entitled "Colour Synthesizer Design for the PAL System" on the design of a unit to electronically generate colour television pictures from a black & white source. The article can be downloaded here.
I have written a number of articles, mainly for Hi-Fi World Magazine, over the years. Reproductions of the submitted articles as PDF files are available here.
More recently, I wrote an article on how to display images from recordings of Baird 30-line television. Download the article here.
