Is the Superheterodyne set over rated? It seems to me there were
certain advantages to the OLD ways. Ease of control perhaps not being
one of them.

What was the WORST feature of the Regenerative sets? The BEST feature?

Would it be worthwhile to build a kit?

I built a single compactron tube ( 3 tubes in 1 envelope) regen several
years back:

Lots of fun to listen to casually, but one quickly tires of the poor
selectivity and fiddling.
