National Semiconductor FAQs said:Where can I get a copy of the 1980 National Semiconductor Audio/Radio Handbook?
The 1980 Audio/Radio Handbook offers information on the use of audio-quality op amps in audio circuits, including preamps, tone controls, filters, power amplification, radio, and others. In this book the term "floobydust" is explained and demonstrated as being a mixed bag of topics. A reprint of this useful Handbook can be obtained through audioXpress. Note that the reprint is faithful to the original, down to the contact information for National Semiconductor - as it was in 1980. Please see the National website for current contact information.
