Build a nostalgic radio with a real vacuum tube and
explore the airwaves as they did in the 1930’s! Historic technology
comes to life again with 30 engaging experiments. Assembling this
radio is a fun project for radiomen, tinkers and gadget-buffs of all
ages. Once your radio is up and running, hunting for radio
transmissions becomes a fun challenge. While learning how the radio
works, you will discover the fundamental parts of electrical circuits.
The radio is pre-wired for easy assembly. Users need only
to plug in the various components, attach an antenna and a ground wire,
and make tuning adjustments to get the radio working. The wooden base is
beautifully finished with a polished cherry stain and golden labels for
an authentic look. The vacuum tube glows with a soft orange glow when
you are using it!
Instructions, experiments and additional configurations
for the radio are described in the 32-page full-color experiment manual.
A double triode allows for experiments with different circuits. Just
switch the coils to tap into different wave bands: one coil for AM
frequencies and one for shortwave.
Transport yourself back to the early days of radio, and
become a real Radio Ace!
