If an EMP happens, good old tube type radios will keep on working.The
Russians still build and use some tube type radios/equipment for certain
applications.Perhaps China does too.I own a lot of tube type radios and
transistor radios.I am not worried about my old tube type radios.I own a
few old crystal radios too.I own a 1960s four cylinder Mercedes Benz
diesel engine I bought for $350.00 from J.C.Whitney company back around
1974.I need to fine me an old junk yard vehicle to put my diesel engine
in, an EMP won't affect that diesel engine at all.Probally won't affect
my 1914 Ford Model T Runabout Roadster car or my 1948 Willys Jeep
either.An EMP would most likely fry the electronics in modern day
vehicles.Sometimes, Old timey thingys are the best.
