Mike's Electric Stuff
http://www.electricstuff.co.uk/
Mike is one of those guys who likes to open up electronic gadgets, take a
peek inside, then put them back together. He takes a real anatomical
interest in the way machines work. He also has a huge collection of
antique
glass valves, neon lamps, Geissler tubes, Tesla coils, and Weston cells.
He
explains how each component works, who invented them, what they're made
of,
and how you can take them apart. He also includes a diagram of his home
audio/video setup that reads like a London Underground map.
