"Mine [ Adam] was cool until my ex decided that a 'tape was a tape was a tape' and didn't look real close to what he was putting in the drive.
"A Coleco ADAM will not run with a 'Beach Boys' cassette tape in it.
"The poor thing was never quite the same after that..."

eftychia at 06:57am on 2008-05-24[I may of course also be missing a second clue, which would be knowledge of what third, fourth, etc. clues I'm also missing. But I know I'm missing at least one clue.]
I'm fairly certain that I want one of these:
![[circuit diagram for a passiveanalog ring modulator]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/160847c9c2f1/109641-1428036/www.kempt.net/~glenn/lj/ringmod.png "I hope I translatedthis correctly.")
but I've no idea what size transformers to use. (I'm going to plug musical instruments and/or microphones into it, so the big hint for anyone who might be able to guess what transformers go there is: it's an audio-frequency circuit. Uh, and I think guitars, guitar amps, and stomp boxes are hi-Z, right? I expect to need an impedance matching transformer or a pre-amp if I send a microphone signal into it.)
Apparently, this is also a Dalek component, though I don't know whether that'd be this circuit or a digital version of it.
I also want a 'talk box' someday, but this looks waaay cheaper to build and would be fun too.
