I had the predecessor to the span master. Mine had seperate coils,
(4 regen coils)nekked chassis and no selector switch

WHAT MODEL WAS THAT?
Sure made Mom holler when I made it squall!

I'd love to have one now. Closet thing I spect would be the TenTec Kit

I think you mean the Ocean Hopper. Including LW and BCB, there were a
total of six coils. They show up on eBay pretty regularly, but the
bidding for nice ones often goes over $100.

I still have, and in working condition, my original Space Spanner I
built while in high school.

I "improved" my Ocean Hopper by converting it from vacuum tubes to a
JFET regen stage and a bipolar AF amplifier.

I got a replaement OH to go along with my Space Spanner, Span Master,
Explor-Air, and GR-81.
