    Hi Mr. Bunn,
    We have some interests in common, like electronic experiments, vintage cars restoring and old osciloscopes. hahaha. I´ve restored a 1987 2.2litres renault fuego, it was ready for junkyard, and now is like brand new. Also I’ve a vingage tektronix 321A in restoration, and it’s giving me some headaches. hahaha

    Hello good sir! I stumbled upon your page this evening while researching the MN3208 IC, of which I recently came into a few. I see that in your newest synth project you plan to use them for delay, as do I, though schematics and information outside of the datasheet have been hard to come by. if you do happen to have a schematic worked out, drop me a line, I’d love to see it if you are so inclined. Thanks much!

      Hi Sam,

      I will have a look through my circuit folder to see what I have. My recollection is that I found this chip rather tricky to get working. There are some circuits in a book I have by David Manners, if I remember correctly.

      Best,
      Julian

    Julian,

    I happened upon your page through some very in-depth google-ing. I have purchase a little project piece for myself, its a vintage ‘scope, Military TS34A-AP. I was wondering if you could offer any insight to this thing, as I have found nothing except what you have posted on your site. I would really appreciate it, as I do not even know where to start. My email is johnrmuth at gmail dot com.. Thank you,

    John
