I don't believe it...

If it was like the old Rover I wouldn't expect it to fire on more than 4 at a time.

I see what you did there.

The Brits can still knock out a mean 74LS04.

God that takes me back, built my first PC out of 74 series TTL.

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

That was a huge site.

God that takes me back, built my first PC out of 74 series TTL.

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

Damn right, British IC's for British electronic equipment.

must work harder on that slogan

"Buy British" / "Avoid Asian"?

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

Thanks Xogg... I've got a shedful of ttl too...

And I've got a stores full of 74 ttl in work too...

But thanks for the offer.

I've got a couple of 6V6GT's and some PCF80's if they are any help?

6V6G/GT listed in the 1964 Mullard book as "Obsolete/Types not in common use"...

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!
