# G. Russell Electronics

Russell, a leader of the [Central Pennsylvania Timex/Sinclair Computer Users Group](http://localhost/usergroup/central-pennsylvania-zx-ts-users-group/), founded G. Russell Electronics. It was is named after his wife, who did all the marketing.

He unexpectedly landed in the electronics business when he creating the Winky Board. The passive device plugs into the cassette tape recorder to produce easier tape loading. It also has other functions, such as a tape duplicating capability and an earphone eavesdropper.

The users group in Pennsylvania developed other products that were marketed by G. Russell.
