I impressed with this Radio, I love Radio Circuits and listening.

My parents bought me a Hallicrafters S-38C receiver for Christmas in 1953. I was 12. I got my novice ham radio license in 1956. Been licensed ever since as K2QPN.

Thank you, Mike, for the wonderful trip down memory lane! The video was fantastic. I also received one of these gifts back in the early '70s, and I still cherish it to this day. 73s

I have really been enjoyinng this set of videos on crystal through transistor radios. Thank you!

I got one of these for Christmas as a kid. I added an power supply (filter caps stuffed into the battery compartment), signal-strength meter (poked around with my Olsson's VOM until I found the AGC signal), and a trimmer with a Radioshack vernier dial for the oscillator. It was a good learning experience, although I was still envious of my best friend whose family had an SB-310.

Phenolic PCB's, with either tubes or transistors, my teenage years. I remember when transistor radios would be sold with a couple of dead transistors soldered to the bd so they could call a 7 transistor radio a "9 transistor" radio.

Thank you for the great video. I lived in a small provincial city in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. I wanted to build my own radio back then, but the electronic parts store in my town only had those slow germanium transistors. I have memories of wanting those high performance 2SC372 and 2SC373 used in magazine articles.

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell the story of the Unelco
I got my first receiver on Christmas at 8-9, an SR-22R and an isolation transformer. I can't remember anything about the Unelco very interesting and your review of the circuit peaked my interest. WW-II Military surplus was my godsend in those days.

That would be such a cool present for a 60s/70s kid! Imagine the dial filled with foreign and mysterious signals, luring you into the future.

This reminds me of the transistor BC, SW tuner board assembly, I bought back in the later '60s from Lafayette. All it needed was to hook up a 9v battery and an audio amplifier to have a 2 band AM radio.
