Hi everybody this time we chat about the Stylophone 350S the worlds greatest Stylophone.

What was different about the Stylophone 350S?

First up: the size. As mentioned, the Stylophone 350S was considerably bigger than the familiar Stylophone instruments of the time – it remains one of the largest Stylophone varieties ever made. At over 6 times the size of the ’68 original, it wasn’t a handheld instrument in quite the same way.

With this increase in size came an increase in functionality. The familiar touch keyboard boasted a 44-note range – that’s a rather snazzy 3 and a half octaves compared to the usual 1 and a half.

Next up: 2 styluses are better than 1, as the old saying goes. Rather than simply allowing you to jump between notes across the extended keybed range, the second stylus (on the left) was used in conjunction with the ‘reiteration’ control.

The larger enclosure combined with the extra feature set meant more power requirements – the 350S was fed by 2 PP9 batteries. Another reason for its increased thirst was the size of the loudspeaker behind that trademark wooden grill – a little extra volume never did any harm, right?

The final standout feature was the drastically-expanded set of controls. Those familiar with the Stylophone at the time will have been used to the Organ and Vibrato switches. The 350S instead featured an impressive array of rocker switches with different sounds and effects.

Hi everybody this time we present our mouting on a diy panel of the Mitch Electronics Voltage Controlled Oscillator Kit.

Voltage Controlled Oscillator Kit Info
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO for short), is a very practical circuit for generating square and sine waves. While these waves can be produced using the Simple Function Generator Kit, the VCO allows for controlling the output frequency with the use of a voltage signal instead o using a potentiometer. This means that the output frequency of the VCO can easily be controlled by microcontrollers and other analogue circuits which can create some pretty interesting results. For example, a 1V octave synthesiser can be built using this module whereby a 1V octave keyboard is connected to an exponential converter which feeds its output into the VCO to produce keyboard tones. This circuit can also be used in retro ways such as sensor data transmission where the voltage output of a sensor is converted into a frequency and the frequency of the output will be proportional to the sensor reading (a similar system was done in early satellites such as Sputnik).

Hi everybody this time we present our assembly of the Mitch Electronics Atari Punk Synth Kit.

555 Synth Punk Kit info
The 555 Synth Punk kit is an electronic synthesiser that takes inspiration from the famous Atari Punk Console circuit. Each button can be adjusted via a potentiometer to produce a different tone, an the larger potentiometer can be used to create stepped sounds. Powered from a single 9V PP3, this kit contains everything you need to explore your inner musician, and the 3.5mm audio jack lets you connect your 555 Synth Punk to external speakers for use in live performances (a simple resistor divider can be used here to also allow for recording to microphone ports).

The 555 Synth Punk also has an additional expansion port that lets you connect additional potentiometer/switch panels to expand the number of tone buttons. This port can also be used with other resistive elements to create sounds based on movement, temperature changes, and even light.

Hi everybody this time we present our rare radio rally find the EMI type 8 CCTV Camera

Info

The EMI type 8 was a standard CCTV camera from the early 1960s. It used a 25mm vidicon tube and a "C" mount lens.

It was available in 405, 525, or 625 line standards and it incorporated an RF band 1 modulator so that it could be used with ordinary televisions.

A useful feature was the ability to operate from 12 volts DC as well as AC mains.

The price, given in Wireless World, December 1962, page 580 was £160.00
