I have some old tube type car radios.Those old AM car radios from the
1950's are some of the best AM radios.Mount one inside of a metal box
and use a 12 volt battery and you have a good AM radio to use in your
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.

zapping it with 110 volts of electricity.

WELLL!!! Have you decided on anything?! ;-)

Used to have an RF-2200 that seemed pretty good on receive. I no longer
have the '2200 but do have an RF-4800 that works quite well.
Has anyone ever compared the two side by side to see which is best or are
they about equal on receive?
