Q: Heath audio oscillator

[Robert Baer]

Heathkit had a tube oscillator based on a cathode follower from the
plate load, capacitively coupled to the cathode resistor.
Does anyone know the model number or have a schematic of that?

That appears to be the AG10. I found it in the djvu format on the BAMA
mirror site.

Thankx; will snoop...

CRAP!
If one uses NetScape 7.2, the computer freezes (need to do power off
reset) every time - even with cache, history clear and FIRST site tried
::: *every time*!
There is some HD access before the crash.

If one uses NetScape 6.2, all works well.

What the hell are they doing????????????

I'm betting their "Web developer"
uses M$IE to "check" his (shitty) code.
instead of **VALIDATING** it
with the keepers of the HTML standard.

An interesting aside to this:

I did not think of trying IgnoramusExpectorant on bama, i would have
to run yet a different OS to do that.
I ripped IE out of most of my OSes by its roots, screeming and
complaining to no avail... and have not had to look back as to how to
"re-install" the dammed program.
In fact, once it is gone, it seems impossible to re-install; one must
start from scratch with an empty drive and install the OS to get IE.

I would NEVER advise using M$IE
--much less reinstalling it once you're shed of it.
I assume you used Ieradicator.

Treating it like a version update from M$ should reinstall it.

I have found that whenever Mozilla chokes on a poorly-coded site,
my slimmer backup browser (Opera 6.0) will open it--no problem.
Opera is now freeware (the trialware ads are gone).
You seem to have a similar workaround.

If the content of a site is Windoze-centric,
before allowing the browser a chance to go there and crash,
I often feed the URL into the Validator.
As I said, most Windoze idiots use IE to "check" their HTML.
My instincts are rarely wrong on this.
When I do get crashed
and afterwards feed that site's URL into the Validator,
I don't think I need to tell you what I find.

BTW, even if some idiot PHB forces you to use ActiveX,
you can get an ActiveX plug-in for Seamonkey or Firefox.
It's been a long time since I've seen a valid reason to use IE.

Actually, i removed IE by hand from the HD and then from the registry.
Not too hard to do in Win98SE, gave up in Win2K but do not use it
unless some verdammt prog *demands* it.
ie: USPS demands IE and Acrobat Reader ver 6 in order to print out the
customs shipper for Global Express Guaranteed (one gets a discount if
one pays on the net VS going to a post office that handles GXG).
Oh, and by the way, even if one jumps thru those hoops, it will not
work if you have a *full*, older version of Acrobat installed.

Did you ever get what you wanted from BAMA? If not, I can email the
schematic to you. I think the file is about 1 MB.

I "cheated" by using an older version of Netscape (ver 6.2 works, 7.2
freezes).
Thanks for the offer (have what i was looking for).
