I still have, and restore, and use, tube radios. I have a collection of antique broadcast band receivers that dates from 1921 to the 1930's, an antique (1920's) homebrew ham receiver with the callsigns of two 1920's hams on the front panel (that one needs restoration, but it has a set of coils that plug into a socket on top), and a Knight R100A/T150A pair I am working on. My first HF transceiver was a Heathkit HW101, which I still have and have no plans to get rid of as I can repair it myself if it breaks down (plus, it was given to me by my elmer as an incentive to upgrade to General years ago...).?

Real radios glow in the dark and are warm to cuddle up to! :)

I still have from the 60's an Octal, Nine Pin, and 7 pin Greenly Punch.? Lots of $ then for a kid.

I think over $10 back then.? Lots of chassis with 5U4, 6V6, 6AQ5, ect.

Never to be used again, Valves, we called them Tubes gone like my Generation.

So Sad, and that's the way life goes.? That was a lot of money back then.

Hi John
Guess nowadays more people want to have everything as easy as possible.
Seems that gone are the days of making an aluminium chassis, drilling all the holes for valve holders, front panel, case etc.?
PCB boxes should be very easy for the newcomers to do.

Lawrence

Well Larry, I guess the times they are achangin'.? Hi.

Methinks that soldering a pc box is the best solution as
it provides good shielding. It is a bit hard to work all the
necessary holes though...it does involve a bit of manual
labor. ;)
