This is fascinating. I just started getting into radios, how they work, how to build them from scratch, history of them, etc.

- Gibbon1 2y agoBlast from the past my dad bought the the one tube radio kit on page 67 in the 1970 catalog and used it to try and teach me some basic electronics.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoYou, sir or ma'am, need to get a copy of the ARRL Radio Amateur's Handbook. Preferably an old one from the mid-late 80's when building radio receivers (or transmitters, if you're licensed) was still pure analog fun.
- drivers99 2y ago(just saw this.) I just got the 100th edition of that handbook from 2023. It's a huge book; do you suppose they removed the analog stuff? I'll keep that in mind and maybe pick up an old edition for comparison.
- drivers99 2y agoupdate for posterity: I just picked up the 50th edition (1973) from a used book store. It has a big chart of vacuum tube diagrams in the back. I didn't get an 80s one since they didn't have it, but I'll still keep an eye out.
