A little while back, I did a little blogging about *** Smith Electronics Fun Way into Electronics series. This was arguably one of the main things which got me into the whole electronics hobby, so I thought some of you might also enjoy looking back at *** Smith when it was more than just a consumer electronics shop. If you remember these, or have any thoughts to share, I'd love to hear them

Just had an idea I could use some plastic cogs to form a reduction gear to improve the tuning ..couldn't say the acrylic wasn't a good insulator ...probably good Permitivity as well 
Rev Dobbs famous enough to have YouTube groupies 
They are in better condition than I thought. The smaller one I don't know much about (but has a geared drive - very cool) and the longer one is a Jackson Brothers one, with continuous rotation so would need some end-stops or cord drive I guess. It looks silver-plated, and is unused, so I've put it back in the bag in the box - I want a _really_ nice radio project to use that : )
