Universal Audio engineers bench testing the original 1176 Limiting Amplifier, circa 1967. UA still hand-builds every 1176 in Scotts Valley, CA.

 

What would recordings have sounded like without it ?

Difficult to imagine.

This tool helped to shape the sound of music for decades and it still does.

Thanks Bill Putnam!

Last surviving Apple I sold from Jobs’ garage is estimated to reach $1 million at auction

 

FyDvV5D.jpg

 
In a few short weeks, the last remaining Apple I computer in the world — sold by Steve Jobs — will be up for auction courtesy of Christie’s Auctions. Although the 248-year auctioneer estimates that the hardware will sell between $400,000 and $600,000, a similar machine was sold (also at an auctioned) to the Henry Ford Museum for $905,000 at the end of October, 2014.

This first generation of Apple computers were sold directly out of Jobs’ parents’ garage in 1976 and include 100 units purchased by a local computer store and another hundred units sold to customers directly from the garage. All 200 of units were hand-built by Wozniak himself.

The Apple I that will be auctioned next month was originally purchased by a gentleman named Charles Rickets from Steve Jobs on July 27, 1976, and includes a canceled checked labeled “purchased July 1976 from Steve Jobs in his parents’ garage in Los Altos,” to confirm its authenticity. A second check from August 5 of that same year is labelled “Software NA programmed by Steve Jobs August 1976.” ZFm7Ry9.jpg

Hardware-wise we’re looking at a single motherboard with 60 ICs. These include the famous 8-bit MOS 6502 clocked at 1MHz that was later used to power the BBC Micro, Atari 2600, and even the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Not unlike the Apple of today, its 1976-incarnation required the purchasing of additional outside components for full use; the power supply, keyboard, and television (which served as the monitor), were not included. Another fun fact: the original Apple I did not include a case; users needed to build their own. The image above shows a handmade case for the Apple I on display at the Smithsonian.

If Christie’s winds up auctioning the Apple I for more than $1,000,000, it will go down in history as the most expensive computer relic ever sold.

Първите транзистори на руснаците, 1953 година

 

Первыми транзисторами, выпущенными отечественной промышленностью в конце 1953 года, были точечные триоды типов КС1 - КС8. Первые шесть типов предназначались для использования в усилительных схемах на частотах не свыше 5 МГц (КС6), два последних типа были предназначены для генерирования колебаний до 1,5 МГц (КС7) и до 5 МГц (КС8).

Charlie Watkins, one of the most influential figures in the post-WWII MI industry, has died.

m6c6gbc.jpg

Mr Watkins, a Londoner, rose to prominence in the 1960s, developing the Watkins Copicat echo unit and a series of successful instrument amplifiers which were the staple of 1960s guitarists and bass players, though perhaps his greatest achievement lay in the development of modern of PA. WEM PA systems were ubiquitous throughout the late 1960s and made the first outdoor festivals possible, following Watkins’ development of amp ‘slaving’. He pioneered the use of mixers with the WEM Audiomaster and is credited with having invented the concept of foldback speakers. Used by artists as diverse as Tony Bennett and Pink Floyd, WEM systems were used at the original Isle of Wight festival in 1969, and powered the legendary Stones In The Park event in Hyde Park, during the same year.

In recent years, Mr Watkins concentrated on the accordion, introducing MIDI to the instrument. He is survived by his wife, June.

Nagra T-Audio Test 

(The display works perfect, the flickering comes from the filming!)

 

 

... Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality...

 

...It costs more than your mortgage. It's what the most advanced studios and archives in the world use. This can generally be said about many Nagra products.

 

...I think I would sacrifice a testicle for that machine! What a work of art! Nagra was the pentacle of reel to reel recording technology.

 

...When the excuses are over, you own a Nagra! Simply superb!

 

...One just sold on Ebay Ended: Feb 29, 2012 16:25:56 PST Bid history: 24 bids Winning bid: US $10,100.00
