        Not been to Newton Aycliffe then? It closed in 1998.

        That was a huge site.

          Me too. I built my first Fast Fourier Transformer out of the 54 series. With help.

                ZX80 - the new and improved ZX81 had a Ferranti custom ULA and didn't use any discrete logic chips

                    Then again, it mostly listed radio & tv valves as used in UK designed stuff...
                    The 6V6 and variants were used in amplifiers - normally in stuff from the USA.
                    They were used in the PA amps at the Radio and TV shop that I used to work in as the Saturday boy - happy days

                    I've a box of old TV valves in the garage - must be worth millions by now?

                    Can't find my Mullard data book - late 70's I think - but I have located "Radio Circuits and Data" by C.A. Quarrington 1st printed June 1948 - my copy is the nearly new reprint of May 1957!

                      Ah, how about an EHT rectifier - you could get a serious spark (and belt) off these!
