Three volumes (2, 3, 4) of The Impoverished Radio Experimenter. 2001-2003. Softback. Slight curve to the covers and very slight rusting of staples, but overall Very Good plus. Here, you learn to build a one-transistor model around the components you can salvage, steal or buy. It's a great exercise in building in itself. It forces you to solve the mechanical problems of building that are often more difficult than the electrical. And when you're done you have a machine that makes coil winding, and tank circuit fabrication predictable rather than merely guess work. You won't need to have the exact coil form specified in that old magazine article. And you can figure out for yourself how many turns to use. You'll learn how to take a pentagrid converter tube and build a one-tube shortwave converter that will put shortwave broadcast stations on a frequency that an ordinary AM radio, or crystal set for that matter, can receive. While your crystal set buddies are listening to some talk show idiot on the AM band, you can be listening another equally ridiculous talk show idiot on 5 or 10 mHz! And you can listen to the respectable BBC out of London, or stations in Canada, Germany, Belgium, China, Cuba and elsewhere. It's powered with the simple power supply built in Experimenter Volume One. You'll learn how to make a top rate slow-motion dial drive for your radio. Its 7.5 to 1 ratio makes tuning stations easy. You'll find that it works far better than many expensive antique dial drives. It's easy. You'll learn how to make a simple rig for winding professional quality hi-Q space wound coils. It's easy and low-cost. Some people prefer to whine that they can't find parts. It can be a problem, but geez... in the time it takes to whine, you can build your own parts.
