I think it would be fun to build one. It would also be fun to learn
to use one. But like tuning a superhet with bandspread dials and
preselector a regen gets old quickly because tuning around is so slow
and fiddly. They are great basis for comparison because they show how
far radio receivers have come.

Is the Superheterodyne set over rated? It seems to me there were
certain advantages to the OLD ways. Ease of control perhaps not being
one of them.

What was the WORST feature of the Regenerative sets? The BEST feature?

Would it be worthwhile to build a kit?
