Eighty years ago, this couple were pulling in so many foreign stations on their two-tube receiver that they had to get out the globe to figure out where they were all coming from. They built the inexpensive set themselves by following the plans in the January 1941 issue of Popular Mechanics. Thanks to plug-in coils, the set could cover the broadcast band up to 9-1/2 meters. The set ran off household current, and could power either a loudspeaker or headphones. A 6SJ7-GT served as regenerative detector, with a 32L7-GT serving as audio amplifier and rectifier.
