A friend once had a Hallicrafters S-119 Sky Buddy II. A very cool
little radio. It was really hot on MW but I think it had images. I'd
love to have one just for that old time analog ambience.


Definitely an interesting little entry level radio, but a superhet, not
a regen.

And yes, it does have images as it is a single conversion receiver (455
kHz I.F.).


Oops, I sit corrected! Dunno why I thought it was a regen.
