Drawing Schematics for Tubes

[Geek]

Hi Folks,

Several people have asked about my schematics and what I use. Today I got off my keister and decided to redistribute the public-domain file with a few of my own additions:

http://geek.scorpiorising.ca/symbols.html

They are the same ones that have been floating around Usenet forever, with a couple of additions. I'll be updating the symbols every once in a while too.

Use with GIMP, Photoshop, M$ Paint, KPaint, whatever that can copy/paste a bitmap. No special software needed.

Enjoy!

(mods - this topic covered so many fields, I didn't know where to start the thread. Sorry if it belongs elsewhere)

** edit - need spel chek 🙁

Only valve (toob) people need to draw real diagrams...

You could print it on a napkin then scan it to make it look "normal" 😀

There used to be a plug in for AutoCad that simulated that. 🙂

The original author of the symbols has contacted me and even turned out to be a friend - Tim Williams

He gave me his additions and they have been merged and updated.

Thanks Geek!

I tried downloading your schematics file, and all I got was about 8 KB. Is anyone else having trouble downloading this?

Yes, I'm having trouble as well. Downloaded WinZip trial and the other one but both failed to open the .tar file???

I get about 8kb, but UltimateZip won't open it up. It says it's not a valid archive file.

Got it. Had to add the .bz2 extension when I saved it. Thanks a bunch! These will definitely come in handy.
