    Default Electronics Australia Projects

    I am looking for copies of articles for the following:

    1. Playmaster 1.3 speakers. I think that was the name, and

    2. The stereo amplifier that used two Plessey SL403D ICs

    Both would be early '70s.

    TIA.

    Yes, a search engine is very useful indeed if used effectively.

    The website at might prove useful.

    Silicon Chip have all the old EA intellectual property. I suspect that they would be able to sell you photocopies of the articles once you know which issue the projects were in.

    There's an index of projects going back to the late 1960s here:


    Some libraries used to keep decades worth of Electronics Australia, so if you're near a capital city library, that could be useful.

    You could also ask around your local amateur radio club - in my experience, amateurs are amazing hoarders of electronics magazines.

    @lsemmens. Nice try but that is a valve unit.

    @ tristen. Only January 1997 to December 1999 so far so considerably later than what I am looking for.

    @shred. That link is very handy but nothing "jumps out and bites me". I was aware that Silicon Chip has the EA stuff - and IIRC also ETI - but I thought I would try on this forum first before approaching Silicon Chip.

    Yes, I know all about hoarding. I am amazed that I do not have the original issues ...
