Speaker Builder magazine in PDF format for download

[lupanar]

Hi.
I recently discovered this website https://www.worldradiohistory.com/index.htm where almost all journals of Speaker Builder magazine are available for download in PDF format.
https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Speaker-Builder.htm
Only 18 issues are missing from the 124 issues published in total between 1980 and 2000.
The 18 missing issues are marked in red in the attached image.
Regards.

Thank you so much! My as of 1980 issues ended in the old paper bin in 2010....

And then, going through the years, you will be struck by the sheer number of contributions and immense creativity of in particular our own Bill Waslo, posting here as Bwaslo.

Yes, Bill- what a gem!

and Speaker Builder magazine, too.

Looky here:
Trade & Dealer Magazine published by Thomas Edison himself

Hi, seems the link is now dead. Is it possible to get a copy of the archive or a few issues?

Cheers, Dean.

That's unlucky Dean, it's just worked for me!

Cheers, Carl.

Good to know MrKiky. That made me think that maybe my ISP was, for reasons unfathomable, blocking the link. I switched to my mobile provider and hey presto, the archive exists. Many thanks.

Thankyou for this link…it worked for me. I hope it stays live because its a huge amount of valuable resources!

I just tested it and the link still works.👍

What a great find! I was wondering if Speaker Builder magazine still existed and so I did a search and found this page. I subscribed for a few years back in the late 80's, and it was the most informative source I ever ran across.
I downloaded all the pdf files available, 561MB to be exact.
The excellent part is that the linked page has a search query that will find a specific result across all of those pdf files! 😎

Many years ago I got a bit 'freaked out' about moving to a smaller house with all my equipment and I threw away a huge quantity of
Electronics & HiFi publications > I now regret this 🙁

And to think I threw them all away. I even had the 18 missing issues. Now I can look some things up and reminisce about the good old days.

The SHOCK WAVE ads are too much! Here's a link to the proprietary super secret plans for the curious. https://www.toolandhobby.com/website/pages/audio-electronics/shockwave/download/Shockwave_manual.pdf

I'm so glad I didn't buy a set of "the rarest of audio secrets, the secret of the century revealed in a limited-edition manual of only 500 copies personally signed by David Lucas".
