 — Schematic Circuit Diagrams —

The following is a list of Valve equipment and some classic transistor schematic diagrams.

To increase clarity and or reduce the file sizes some have been traced, redrawn and output in Adobe Acrobat pdf format.

Where possible I have redrawn the following schematics in the original style and layout so there may be a few inaccuracies, please let me know and I will correct them — Where components are concerned I have generally used common symbols for basic parts i.e. an electrolytic capacitor is drawn in the old British style and looks like where the shaded end is negative — The American symbol would be where the curved side is negative

I have elected to use the British symbol for redrawn schematics — Resistors are drawn which is common to nearly all older schematics and looks like a difficult path for current or even a heating element which is actually what it is! — The box symbol indicates nothing but I use it for the day job and some schematics that I produced for this site

Another area to look out for is junctions, most older schematics use bridges to show wires that cross later becoming a simple cross + — Junctions are often marked with dots — As a rule however drawn no more than 3 wires should meet at a junction — I have elected to use bridges or simple crosses with junction dots (often coloured differently) and more than 3 wires at junctions if it reflects the original style and is obvious what is connected
