Grayson Evans KJ7UM (the author of Hollow State Design) was recently in Germany where he spotted this museum display of a homebrew receiver built in the GDR (the old East Germany) around 1983 by a 13 year-old. Very cool.
Here is today’s task for SolderSmoke: Can you provide any more info on this receiver? The card indicates 0-V-1 which would be a regen with no RF amplifier, right? Maybe something like this:
Look carefully at the pictures and try to gather any additional information on the receiver or its builder.
Thanks Grayson!





I’m thinking the valves are Soviet made 6j1p. https://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_6j1p.html I thought this was interesting. https://www.cool386.com/regenrx/regenrx.html The builder would be 53 now. I don’t see how the tuning would work. Trevor
