Various Schematics, Articles, and Data Sheets
The Peasant's collection of miscellaneous technical information and diagrams.
WHAT'S IN THIS PILE?
Schematics Tube Stuff Construction Articles Data Sheets Oddities
A slightly disorderly collection of useful circuits, old manuals, construction articles and other technical treasures rescued from the Peasant's workshop shelves.

There has to be a schematic for that around here somewhere...
TUBE GOODNESS
Garnet Swinger Guitar Amplifier.
A classic old vacuum tube amplifier. Synthesizers sound much better through tubes!
1N914
QUESTIONABLE OLD TECHNOLOGY!
Line-Powered Tube Amplifier.
Here is a small mono tube amp that The Peasant picked up cheap at a flea market. Note the selenium rectifiers and lack of any power transformer. Line-Powered amplifiers like this can be dangerous, so use with caution!
Tube Circuits & Other Useful Schematics
Tube Circuits.
Here is a DC amplifier circuit for raising lower solid-state synth voltage signals up to tube level voltages.
Here are a couple of tube flip-flop circuits.
And a tri-state flip-flop circuit. Thank you to Danial Stocks for this circuit!
MAKES NOISE!
SN76477N Gated Noise Generator Circuit.
Here is a circuit The Peasant put together to generate the "snares" sound in a percussion synthesizer. A basic trigger and output circuit are included for stand-alone use.
MATCHMAKING FOR DIODES
Diode Matching Circuit.
Here is a circuit for matching diode voltage drops at different currents. Useful for building balanced modulators.

And for you beginners, a bit of a humourous rant from Harry Bissell regarding the importance of getting an oscilloscope for troubleshooting, as well as a good explanation of decoupling. Thanks, Harry!
