home.

Why not use one of those old CB radio power supplies? Should be plenty
of them around from the CB days. Even have one out in the garage
somewhere when the kids were into that sort of thing about 35 years back.

From memory they output around 14 volts and should have enough current
to drive an old valve radio. I might even have one of those old valve
radios around here somewhere as well.

Most of the AM stations around here are just talk radio now. Only one
worth listening to is ABC Melbourne on 774. The topics under discussion
are often quite interesting. The rest of the stations are just plain dull.
