This receiver was built from the plans of the Grebe CR-18 shortwave receiver.

"Another 1929 Receiver"

This was from an article by Paul Hendricks in a 1929 QST. Its a 3-tuber using a 22 and a pair of 01As.

Its a Schnell !

This is my version of a Schnell receiver from about 1924. I revised it to tune from about 900 kc up to the 40 meter ham band.

Stinson 99
I bought this from Dave Stinson a while back hence the name. It uses three UV199s in a medium-wave regenerative circuit.

Silver-Marshall 730

My version of this popular commercial receiver kit. Very impressive performance.

A Roberts Reflex

.  Its a 2-tube BCB reflex design.  Works surprisingly well.

Somebody Else's HB

More to come on this one.  It was a poor design and I rebuilt it as a 6-tube superhet.

Breadboard Regen SW

This receiver was very fun to build and is a pleasure to operate.

 May 2008




Breadboard Audio Amplifier

This was designed along the lines of the Western Electric 7A amp primarily for use with the Breadboard Regen.  Gives good speaker volume thru an old horn speaker.
