"Mighty battery powered modular system (soon to be solar powered). This is another squelch-n-wobble technoidy demo sort of thing... Read the BugBrand Blog for more details on the Ambassador System! More pics there too...."

1961 Electronics World - Build a Transistorized Theremin

via this auction.
Details:
"Increasingly hard to find, this nearly half-century-old issue of Electronics World contains a fascinating how-to on building that special effects staple of scores of classic sci-fi flicks, the theremin, by none other than electronic music pioneer Robert Moog. The feature article contains a complete schematic and parts list, as well as chassis layout and photos of the completed unit. There are even tips on how to play the ethereal instrument. You get the entire original 1961 magazine, not a couple photocopied pages like you find elsewhere on Ebay.

Also in this issue is a homebrew stereo balancer using 6FG6 magic eye tubes and a look at beam power tubes in VHF oscillators, plus an article on early computer logic circuits, both vacuum tube and transistor-based. Apart from some minor cover wear, the magazine is in excellent condition."

Oscillatrix mk4 Solid State 2 Oscillator Device

via this auction.
Details:
"Two solid-state multi-vibrator circuits, each with momentary and latching on switches, volume, pitch, and pitch-drop switches. Other features include 4 position series-parallel path switch, 1/4 inch output, funky LED- inside bubble lights, three position cap-bleed-decay switch, all mounted in a old B+K Cathode Rejuvenator Tester chassis and wooden case.(Note: wooden case is filthy)

This thing sounds terrifying and alive and honestly the only reason i'm parting with it is an incentive to build an army of them! Unstable moans and groans and exited chimps and aggressive insect attacks. Runs on a 9v battery or BossTM- style adapter. Will include flow-chart w/ purchase for better understanding of units' features. point to point turret construction perfectly executed.
