Hi-Fi and Television

For Hi-Fi enthusiasts wishing to build their own stepped attenuator to replace the volume control in their amplifier, I have written two Javascript programs to calculate the values of the resistors required; one for a resistor string attenuator and the other for a shunt attenuator.

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.
