I don't recall the url but I remember a 2-3 tube receiver from the 40's
that might be what you want. It was a simple superhet with a
regenerative detector. Used a 6k8 as the converter and a 6c8g as the
detector / audio.
They were called "supergainers" and apparently Frank Jones, of later
VHF fame, was a big proponent of them in the thirties.

The earlier Radio Handbook on that webpage someone posted about would
have them, the 1936 version or whatever. I didn't suggest downloading
that one since I had the impression the tubes available to the original
poster were miniature, and the book predates those.

Thanks, Mike, Ken. I'll have to take a look. I did manage to download
some of the files on designing circuits with tubes, and with the online
tube manuals I might be able to figure out something on my own. Still,
if anyone can think of where I can find something already made up that
I can use, I'd appreciate it.
