Back in early 50s when I built my first crystal radio and one tube regenerative
rcvr with plug in coils I used to go to the junk shops in E.Tn and buy old
console radios. They were huge with large, large speakers and power supplies.
That is how I kept my room warm at night. A lot of them had short wave
capability and were quite good in the commercial sw broadcast band. Used to
listen to Kitty Wells on WSM all the time. We also used to buy old rifles,
pistols, etc; in those so called junk shops. Those days are long gone as is
that world. jim k4CFA
