Did you google for "plate modulation" or "grid modulation"... you should
turn something up there... even if you come across info for tube equip.,
the info is still just as accurate for transistor equip....

How about a trip to a used book store in your area to see what is available?

I see your point, I didn't say that correctly...

You are right, the information should be more available--its missing may
just be a lack of interest or anyone building am equip these days...

The pirate group and "freebanders" have groups, but you have to know someone
to be allowed into their discussions... I know "hidden chat rooms" exist on
IRC... but I have never been invited...

Warmest regards,
John

Marbles can be used in models with excellent results! However, if forced
to keep using all of mine up... I may end up at a disadvantage... I seem
to have misplaced some already!!!
