The 12 pin base just allowed more sections within one envelope than were possible in 8 or 9 pin tubes. --- End quote --- Tube array? :) |

Sinclair IC 10 amplifier, The IC was made by Plessey but badged Sinclair. The thing never worked properly if at all, was supposedly rated at ten watts but more like 1 watt in reality. I lost count of the number of times I took it back to the Sinclair office on Newmarket Road Cambridge where they would just chuck it in a bin in front of me and hand me another one. This was around 1969 or 1970. |

That thing was awesome. Only reason I didn't buy it was the membrane keyboard. I had just learned how to type (more or less correctly) on my mothers electrical typewriter and it was great fun. So I didn't want to use this mini-keyboard, and got the C64 some time later. |
