Used to build tube radios when I was a kid and did nothing
till recently when I started buying some old radios on Ebay.
Restored a 600 Zenith Transoceanic, a Grundig Satellit, and a hand wired Zenith Royal 500 transistor.
I think radios days are numbered- I listen to some Fm stations on the internet because I get bad radio reception from 50 miles away despite a large external antenna and antenna amplifier.
