Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

G'day all,

The Mrs and I are having a clean-up for renovation purposes and I have collected a heap of technical books over the years. It's time for them to go!
While I expect that these will all end up down at the tip, I thought they might be of some sort of use to someone.

I haven't bothered to photograph them or list them, but dates are from 1980's to 2000's and are CMOS, TTL, Op-Amp data books and cookbooks, also data books for Intel, Microchip and Phillips plus a smattering of programming manuals (VB4, Turbo Pascal, DOS and 8086 assembly)
In pre-internet days, these were priceless, but the info is out there with a quick search.

As I said, I expect these will be tossed out, but the offer's there anyway
John

I have a bunch of old mags archived digitally. I eyeball one or two while I'm stuck on hold.

It's good to see that the American Radio History website also has the old Radio and Hobbies magazine, plus EA - all good sources of interesting articles (most of around mid-70's onward I had on my shelves!)
I'm just browsing through a June 1983 article billed as "An outstanding new computer"... The Commodore 64, priced at $699
Wow, how far things have come!

Sadly, my collection of tech books will be out the door today...
I'll keep my 1917 edition "Principals of Electrical Engineering" though

@Malibu - I hope they are going into a recycle bin & not a landfill bin?

Which article is that? I don't see it in the JN 1983 ETI.

Eevblog - You could try putting the same message up on there?
For crying out loud, all I wanted to do was flash this blasted LED.
