It's about time I got the job done. 73 Gary - G4WGT.Gary - G4WGT.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08585370023850228420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071048343455395511.post-30580860133856018462011-06-08T07:58:22.464+01:002011-06-08T07:58:22.464+01:00I attended the National Vintage Communications Fai...I attended the National Vintage Communications Fair outside Warwick<br />England a few years ago. There was a German man and woman selling German Wartime Valve Radios and Bakelite cases. My wife suggested buying some cases and building valve regens inside the cases.<br />The cases were very cheap at the Time. <br /><br />Tony G4LLWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071048343455395511.post-19835366009374986372011-06-07T15:53:16.316+01:002011-06-07T15:53:16.316+01:00In DL they are sold by Conrad-Elektronik and Franz...In DL they are sold by Conrad-Elektronik and Franzis:<br />http://www.franzis.de/elektronik/lernpakete-elektronik/franzis-roehrenradio ,<br />but in a cardboard-case.<br /><br />55 and 72 t all,<br />Wolfgang, DH2WSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071048343455395511.post-66536771362739207012011-06-07T13:25:38.064+01:002011-06-07T13:25:38.064+01:00I've seen these before.

I think they only cover the MW band. Polyvaricon cap to tune. There is an IC audio amp to drive the speaker (cheezy). The price is outrageous.<br /><br />You're probably better off buying a $50 Scout Regen kit from qrpkits.com. I think that one is a Kitchen variant. MFJ has some regen kits too - if you're willing to brave the quality. But none of these are tube kits. 73's, David WB4ONAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
