Hi guys,
I've got a cupboard full of Elektor magazines, covering most of the span from issue #1 through mid-1984, the 1990-1999 archive DVD, and the 2000 thru 2008 archive CDs. A fairly extensive collection by all rights (though I'd still rather like to acquire the rest of 1984, and the range 1985 thru 1989) 
Now, while there's an index included on each CD, it only covers the issues of Elektor that were published in CD form...
Has anyone done something similar for the "pre-digital era" English Elektor magazines?
(While I have no problem with the idea of indexing these magazines myself, it seems silly to do this if someone else has already indexed them and made the database file available for others to use!)
I've had a quick search on the 'net and the Elektor site, but haven't found anything of use... 
Thanks,
Phil.

Hello philpem1,
i've read that you got Elektor issues from #1 to 1984, i' m looking for an article in November 1981 issue: Highs enhancer for guitar, at page 11-12 and 11-13 with pcb # EPS.82029.
May you help me, with scans via e- mail or photocopies in a sleeve, i can refund your time, post fees or other stuff.
Thanks for your time,
Best regards,

@maratoneta: Please don't ask me to violate copyright law.
As I understand it, Elektor still have a complete archive of every article they've ever published (and they almost certainly still own the copyright to said articles), and are willing to provide photocopies for a reasonable fee. Perhaps you could email them? You need only click the "Feedback" link at the bottom of the page.
Also, if you're willing to "refund my time", surely you are willing to "refund" Elektor (Segment B.V.?) for their time and effort?
But we're fast going off-topic here... can anyone answer my original question?
-Phil.

Dear philpem1,
i've made this request because Elektor organisation reply to my original question, (the same i've made to you) with the following mail :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Biliotti,
Thank you for your e-mail.
Regretfully I could not find any information on that item.
I would like to suggest to you to launch your question on our forum.
I do apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
Warmest regards,
Cindy Mertens

it seems an authorization to provide article in other way than official, and finally are you shure that rights on a magazine published 28 years are still active ?
Best regards,

If it helps, this is the article on that page:
High Boost
Bosschaert, A. M.
Elektor, November 1981, pp. 12-
The average tone control circuit in an electric guitar usually consists of little more than a capacitor and a potentiometer and can hardly be expected to produce very good results. An active tone control is much more effective and this high boost circuit can either amplify or attenuate the treble, within a range of 35dB.

I know it is a little late - a couple of years after the original post
but I have subscribed to the english edition from the first issue and have kept an index (ever since) of articles in a .txt format one line per article in each magazine for the last 34 years and counting. Each article is also keyed IE a audio amp would have AF and a function generator could be found by searching for T&M!
If any one is interested please let me know - or alternatively with Elektors permission I could post the file on this forum or Elektor
could place this index somewhere else on their web site
Any thoughts ?
John

hello fellows .... now I have a simple request ...???
A long time ago - I built from using an ELEKTOR magazine - of which I had from number 1 .... a phase controlled power supply - that was published in an ELEKTOR magazine....hmmm
I have no idea of the year, or the month - that it was published in as I lost most of my "stuff" in a catastrophic event - in which my wife was also "murdered"... and so I unfortunately cannot help by trying to remember which year/month it was - but I reckon like Jan says - itis most probably "pre-digital"....
Some clues - this power supply used a SCR that was controlled by the output stages - and then the SCR - was switched on sooner or later - to get a certain power level out of the transformer, and this was then applied to a capacitor - which was the capacitor to the input of the output circuit. The whole idea - as far as I can remember - is that one now has a lower power dissipation in the output device.!! - so passing 5 amps - at maybe 2.5 volts "across" the output device - gives one a very low - 12.5 watts only...
Well - if anyone - can please help me - with this article - I would be very very grateful.
I thank you all very much....
Kindest Regards
