For a TRF design.
IIRC I recall someone once asking for one of those sci.electronics.components.
You could offer them on there rather than junk them.

FS: All the above mentioned IC's. Offers welcome :-)

It is an AM radio.

True. Missed that.

Is it? Wonder what the hell I bought that for then? Can't remember
having any plans to build an AM radio?

Nice sound, but sorry to wave farewell to summer...
What summer was that then?..
The one we just had that seemed wet enough to keep the geese happy. :-)
Slainte,

I'm still waiting for summer. I won't be putting the clocks back or
celebrating christmas 'till I've had my summer!

BTW Marky, the trip down memory lane was fun for me, but have you ever

Obviously not, or he just prefers others to do it for him, and you were
happy to oblige.

LM741 (pretty sure this is an op amp)
Yup and a real oldie. Slow and noisy, not to mention power hungry and a
weak output for what it does.
This was arguably the "breakthrough" IC op-amp. It was one of the first
popular devices that was actually a monolithic design, and not a hybrid like
some of the original Burr Brown modules. It was compensated for unity gain,
which made it much too slow for anything but a buffer for audio work. It had
a slew rate of 0.5 volts/microsecond. With a +/- 12 volt power supply, 6 kHz
rail-to-rail was about it for non-slew rate limited signals. You could get
20KHz through it if you were content with about 4 volts peak.
I think it had more applications in analog computing, integrators, low
frequency function generators, servo controls, etc.

I don't know, but it is AM. I had one and built a little radio from it
when I was a teenager in the late 80s. Actually, I think mine was ZN414A, but I can't
remember what the "A" designation indicated.
Ah: Googling the two codes together gave just one hit:
---
"For those who will doubtless ask, ZN414 has been discontinued. Some years [ago,] it
was upgraded to ZN414A, which lowered noise, increased gain. But that, too has been
supplanted by yet another chip that's still current, though the designation escapes me."
---
Other chips-from-childhood:
555 (since before age 10)
741
4001, etc.
4017 - Racing LED patterns
4051 - analogue switch, IIRC. Used it to make a crude 8-channel-from-1 'scope add-on
4069 - Was this a hex inverter
40106 (IIRC) - Hex Schmitt inverter?
TDA2030
LM1875 (IIRC)
HY60 (module)
And probably many others that I've forgotten!
