I'm interested in identifying the Elementary Electronics Magazine issue that
contains the One Tube Superhet project. It is from about 1970. I built this
project, back then, and still have the radio but not the magazine. I have
salvaged a few parts over the years for other projects but bringing it back to
it's former glory will be easy. Thank you, doug

Pulling this thread a little to one side:

The "Radiotron Designer's Handbook" from the Amalgamated Wireless Valve
Company (Australia) had a number of tricks to reduce the tube count in
radios. Its main interests are AM and shortwave broadcast radios.

The book was sold by RCA in the USA. Anyone interested in tube radios
should have a copy. It's a couple of inches thick. It was last issued in the
1950s - mine includes info on FM broadcast receivers.

A CD version was published and sold three years ago by Audio
Amateur Publications Inc., Peterborough, New Hampshire. I got mine
from Old Colony Sound Lab through their website...don't know if it is
still there. It's a nice keepsake and reminder of old times in vacuum
state electronics. CD beats the heck out of the thick paper version
someone snaffled from me years ago. :-)

The September 1956 "Popular Electronics" had the following article on a
one-tube superhet, the "Minidyne", built around a 6U8:
