ELEKTOR No. 002 - juil-aout 1978

ELEKTOR magazine issue 002 from July-August 1978 — a comprehensive French electronics publication for hobbyists and technicians working with analog audio and microprocessor circuits. This issue delivers practical construction projects including a 40-watt Hi-Fi amplifier (Equin), microphone preamplifier designs for electret capsules, and foundational signal analysis tools like a signal tracer and local FM receiver. Beyond audio, you'll find specialized circuits for Kirlian photography apparatus, steam train sound simulation, vapor whistle effects, and a printed stylus force gauge for turntable setup. The microprocessor section continues SC/MP programming tutorials, making this valuable reference material for learning assembly language on this classic 8-bit processor. Comprehensive component sourcing support includes detailed price lists for integrated circuits, transistors, diodes, and a full directory of electronics suppliers serving France and Belgium. Whether you're building a workshop reference collection or need guidance on vintage analog and early microcomputer projects, this technical magazine PDF offers the schematic detail and parts information you need. A window into 1970s European electronics culture when hobbyists regularly built their own equipment from published designs.
