History of the Web site

This site was created in 1997. At first, it was mainly focused on tube radios (TSF in French) and how to repair them, hence the term TSF in the header. But fortunately for the future, I had added "et autres vieilleries" (and other old stuff) because I already imagined including other old objects.

Since the 2020s, it has only a distant connection with the initial idea. First of all, the site has two parts:

• The first part focuses on certain objects (measuring devices, old radios, HiFi) and often includes a lot of general and specific information on how to repair or choose them. There are also some personal achievements, whether in the field of electronics or computers. And finally, I have made available a lot of information that I had available for download.
• The second part is called a "personal site" (only in French). It is freely accessible and can be accessed via this address https://www.pascalchour.fr/perso/index.htm. It contains genealogical information, some OCR digitized works, sometimes unpublished information on two companies that my family has crossed paths with, many photos on various themes, analyses, in short, a bit of everything but with little connection to the first part.

Copyright

The main part of the site is under copyright. What does this mean?

You can of course consult the information provided and download it for your own use. On the other hand, it is very unpleasant to find, sometimes entire pages, reproduced on other sites and sometimes, signed by the owners of these sites who declare themselves the authors.

This attitude is inappropriate and is not in the spirit of the Web, at least, as it was in the 1990s.

If you want to reuse information from this site, the minimum you can do is contact me to explain your project. In many cases, I do not see any problem in giving permission as long as the sources are cited.

If it is a publication on the Internet, you can also point to this site according to your needs, which, for textual information, guarantees that you have up-to-date information.

I hope you enjoy consulting this site as much as I enjoy doing it.
