Would like some help, please, to ID these components

Wow, that is an adventurous project to start with. Hopefully many of the functions will be available as pre built modules.

Spec, remember way back in the '50-'60's, Grunding, (I think I got the spelling right), use to put some "challenging" devices on the market...

Every one wanted a Grunding device...

Although in current economy, such a device, as I described: (AM/FM/SW, weather radio, and a video player

thumb-stick-drive, opposite to CD/DVD, & recorder), would be to expensive, until someone makes it "right".

Thank you, Spec.

I wanted to build my own AM/FM/SW, weather radio, and a video player

thumb-stick-drive, (opposite to CD/DVD) & recorder to boot!!!

Yep, ALL in one... and I have not found this gadget on sale yet, it would probably save me lots of time.

Indeed it would, Simon. And save you a ton of money. The radio portion, plus USB and SMD ports, for instance:

Now the

is another issue, but as an example:

So, your ideas, just not in one box. But both for under $60. Not that far a stretch to assume it'll all be on one chip in the near future... .

Perfect solution, esteemed friend.

Pacing, on the part of "procurer/manufacturer", and up to this point and time I'd say was "sufficient".

Also, we are talking about the inventor, "knowledge" that current science offers and perhaps some "lose ends"

if you will, a twist in a new direction. After all, these are "toys", entertainment at best, think how disappointed Tesla

was, by bringing many discoveries and concepts, before their time, and the rational that went with it, at that time...

A great man. Another ETO member (DerStrom) is a huge fan, as am I. Edison destroyed the man and his legacy, but there's no denying his contributions.

A group:

is in the process of restoring his lab. And hopefully, his memory.
