Circuit diagrams of 13 cm ATV transmitter

In order to remember the 13 cm ATV project later with the proper details I made three drawings in "Paint". I made a .bmp circuit drawing of the transmitter, baseband circuit and microphone amplifier:

Lissajous

I found an old photo of a physics experiment I did in highschool back in 1979.
It shows a Lissajous curve. A lightbulb on a string draws the lines of the curve on
a film in an analogue camera set to high exposure time.
Black/white only since I developped the picture in the old-fashioned way (with patterson development tank and fluids; no smartphones with Megpixels available at that time).

Stereo microphone

During last visit of the PI4RAZ club meeting there was some used equipment for sale.
I found a nice Philips N8402 dynamic stereo microphone.
I hope to use this mike for the ATV video transmitter under construction.

More tech info about this microphone (designed around 1970):
