The technology is exposed, and visible, and it's aesthetics are there for everyone to see. Love them tubes. Nice warm tones against a black surface. I'll give it an A. I'm curious though. One of those tubes had a different glow to it. Would that be a tuning eye tube? - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

That rx isn't just good to look at, it's got some serious performance too. Note the number of poles in the ladder filter, the balanced beam- deflection mixer, etc. Yet it's simple. --- Another poster asked about other homebrew sites. Here's what one ham uses: http://hometown.aol.com/n2ey/myhomepage/ and a receiver he built ~35 years ago: Southgate Type 4 http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/Jim/jiminfo.doc http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/Jim/SilverRX1.jpg http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/Jim/SilverRX2.jpg http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/Jim/SilverRX3.jpg http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/Jim/SilverRX4.jpg http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/Jim/SilverRX5.jpg http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/Jim/SilverRX6.jpg Can you identify the dial drum? Lots more homebrew stuff on the HBR website. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
