Build Your 1st Vacuum Tube Regenerative Receiver

In addition to the checkers books that I got the other day, I also picked up a couple of radio books. One was an old book on electric circuits (perhaps the subject of a post some time in the future) and the other was this book from Lindsay books on constructing tube-based regenerative receivers.

Lindsay: Build Your 1st Vacuum Tube Regenerative Receiver

It’s a reasonable question as to why you might be interested in trying to build such a thing, but frankly, I don’t have a reasoned answer. I just think it would be cool to experience this technology by actually creating a working example of this kind of art. And it’s kind of cool to build a radio that glows.

We’ll see how far this project goes.
