Project Construction Plan Repository
(Donations Please)
Within this repository are hundreds of mostly untested and unorganized project plans (many from Practical Wireless) from elaborate crystal sets to the classic and humble grid leak detector one tubers. I will be adding many more circuits here and to other areas of the site from many other publications such as those here. And if you can donate a paypal fiver or something to the cause please do so. Big thanks to various sources like Darryl Boyds www.crystalradio.net and Max Robinsons www.funwithtubes.net data. Dont forget to check out the simple infamous Hikers set first
