DST100 RX

My first commercial RX was a DST100 receiver that I think was an ex WW2 tank receiver by Murphy. It cost my dad £7 from a local garage. It was built like a tank and was VERY heavy!! At first it was deaf but G3CHN gave it a service and it came back sensitive. It served me well for several years when I was a teenager. It was so heavy that it took two people to lift it. There are more details on my www.g3xbm.co.uk website.

I love to see more details about that Murphy set. But can't find it at your website. Only something about it on the crystal set DXing page...but that is just one sentence. 73, Bas

There is a dedicated DST100 page under the commercial rig section of the HF, MF, LF pages.

You're website is very big actually. Navigating is a bit difficult with those dropdown menus. Had to search for it even after reading your reply. FInally found it but unfortunately no photo can be seen on your page. I found it here though:

Wow, what a beast. I can imagine this is impressive when you possesed it as a young man.
