that is what i Like, i hate transistor/IC radio noise... I think every radioamateur should build its own tube radio....
Amaturs is not about go to shop and buy new radio, it something more...
I made 11 000 QSO on tube RX...

may i ask you where to get this big tuner scale from? i am planing to start building a tube fm radio in the next couple of months. i will also use a EM84 magic eye.
14 tubes are sucking lots of ampere power...even at 12 volt? but im impressed. nice project.
cheers

Superb Work, both the construction and as far as I can see, the design. Are the design and construction details available?

@984francis I did most of the chassis layout and all the schematic by hand, these have not been scanned as of yet. Even though I'm proficient with Autocad, I wanted to experience what it would have been like "back in the day". The design is basically a conglomeration of the typical individual stage circuits in the 1948 Amateur handbook. There are several good projects in the 1948 book also. In my opinion the handbooks from the 40's seem to be the best reading for this sort of project.

@mylowproject They're all hand drawn, I haven't scanned them yet. I made some changes to the design while it was on the bench which haven't made it from the note book to the schematic yet. Most of the overall schematic is made up of the typical circuits in the 1948 Amateur handbook.
