Re: BVWS Winter Bulletin
Must admit, I'm not a fan of the calendar design. I accept others may love it.

Re: BVWS Winter Bulletin
Hi,
Mine arrived in Essex yesterday and I’m looking forward to having a read over Christmas... Things are looking up as I’ve also just found a project chassis with nice 10H 160Ω 250mA choke and a decent mains transformer I’d long forgotten about! Terry |

Re: BVWS Winter Bulletin
Mine came yesterday, another good issue with plenty to read over Xmas. I also renewed my BVWS membership, I did it online again - quick and easy. Also voted online for the Pat Leggatt award.

Re: BVWS Winter Bulletin
Hello,
Confession time regards the Stern’s article It’s just been kindly pointed out by a good friend, and I’ve mixed up the 6J5 and the 6J7 in the V1 position. My drawing and text have it as a 6J7, however the original drawing has it as a 6J5 triode, which is correct. I stand corrected and apologise for the error, I suppose I’ll have to sit in corner at the next swap meet and write out 100 times a 6J7 is a pentode and the 6J5 is a triode Again, sorry for the error, but I checked it umpteen times - however, it’s the obvious that trips you up. Hope Santa still comes tonight, and he's not put me on the naughty list for mixing my triode and pentode valves Regards Terry. |

Re: BVWS Winter Bulletin
People's views on the latest issue are interesting, but after the first confirmation of 'copy received', do we really need a somewhat incidental, repetitive list of 'my copy has arrived'? I don't mean any disrespect to any such comments above, but I think I have a point and it maybe needs a 'soft' ruling.
