Can you ID this Receiver? Grayson Finds a Homebrew Receiver in Germany. From the GDR. Circuit? Schematic? Thermatrons?

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!
