I for one would be interrested in downloading them when you get the full set posted. How many sections are there?

I saved the course to a Zip file. Send me an email and I will email the file to whovever wants it.

I spoke to soon. The Zip file is over 600mb and I'm having an issue uploading the Zip file to my email. Sorry. You will have to download from the above link.

I use 4shared.com for that sort of thing, works pretty good. To download, for free members, there is a 30 second or so delay to start, but it is free, and if I remember correctly, an account has a free 5 gb allotment. If that's not enough, have two or three.

Thanks for the scanning....I know it's a lot of work.

I´m downloaded the items until now, and they are very interesting.
Pleasse to follow to upload more items.
If you can upload all , as a zip or Rar to a public server, they are more eassy. If not, please to upload more items.

Perhaps you can use www.BigUpload.com

Thank you.

Jason, thanks for scanning them. I'd love to see the rest.

The skydrive site works fine and seems pretty fast for me. One tip I discovered: if you check multiple items and then hit the download button, the site will zip up all the items you selected and download the zip file. Pretty slick.

Best regards,
Steve

You are a real asset to the group for donating your time doing this. Learning the basics of electronics are the best investment anyone can make if they are interested in restoring old radios and even more it involves every aspect of understanding the world we live in now. Once you have a firm grasp of ohm's law you can build on it to keep learning how circuits work, it's the foundation that supports the rest of your progress no matter how far you want to take it.
