This is my twinplex regen built from the Frank Jones 1936 Radio Handbook. It incorporates period components runs 1.5 VDC on the filament and 90VDC on the plate. Surprisingly good performance for a simple set.

  • Very nice rx. What is front panel made of? I mean that's metal obviously but what kind? It looks great.

  • @mpingo91 Hi there and thanks for your comment, the panel is a piece of scrap aluminum. The panel is engine turned using a small round wire brush in a Dremel tool.

  • Great job on the video! Thanks. I'm building a variant using 6SN7 instead.

  • Looks like a prewar radio. Makes me think of one used on the top of Snowdon mountain in wales during a vhf contest in 1936 (5 metres/60 MHz)

  • dang joe, I missed this one. How much to build me one? Or have you already done enough 4 me? =]B{>>

  • Great job rfjoe!!! As you said, the sound is very nice. Can you post the schematic of it? You would do a great favor to the community.

  • Sweet regen! 73 G0KMC

  • Great work! I built my first regen with I was 11 years old in 1955. Mine was tuned to pick up riverboat traffic from tugs on the Mississippi River. I spent many evenings listening to the traffic. I built many more projects later but in 1976 my ham shack caught fire and I lost everything! The insurance paid off handsomely, but it just ripped the heart out of me and I haven't built anything since. Lately I've had the 'itch' to build a few on the old ones from my youth.
