Build a Transistorized Theremin by Bob Moog

via this auction.

"1961 Electronics Magazine
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."

Poll: How Many Posts Should I Have on the Front Page

I just set the site back to 3 days worth of posts on the main page. I switched it from 3 days to 40 posts a while back but so much is coming in now I think I want to go back to 3 days. I'm already at 28 posts today. The idea behind three days is that's about as much time it takes for a post to get fully seen and commented on. The concern of course are the load times and scrolling vs. paging through the site. Another option would be even fewer posts but then you would have to click on the "Older Posts" link at the bottom of each page. Also if you are submitting something, with 3 days set you are guaranteed to have the post up for at least that long. Again, the site is currently set to 3 days, so see how you like it. Majority wins on this one.
