BOOK 4643

Official 1934 Short Wave Radio Manual edited by Gernsback and Secor new chapter by T. J. Lindsay Build simple, high-performance old time shortwave radios! You can. All of the secrets are here: the circuit diagrams, parts layout, coil specifications, construction details, operation hints, and much more. Back in the 20's and 30's the only low-cost way of listening in on the newly discovered and fascinating shortwave radio frequencies was to build a set. Shortwave construction magazines flourished, even during the Depression. This is a compilation of construction articles from "Short Wave Craft" magazine. It's wall-to-wall how-to. Secrets of Old Sets! At the rear of the book are circuit diagrams, photographs, and design secrets of all shortwave receivers being manufactured in 1934 including some of the most famous: SW-58, the SW-5 "Thrill Box", the deForest KR-1, the Hammurland "Comet Pro", and many more. Build Solid-State Sets! You'll find that all the circuits use tubes since transistors hadn't yet been invented. And you'll also find that the original tubes listed are sometimes difficult to find today. Included is a new chapter showing how you can use transistors to replace hard-to-find vacuum tubes. You'll even see the circuit that was lashed together on a table top one night using junk box parts, one of my wife's hair curlers and alligator clips. When I hooked it up to an antenna strung across the basement ceiling and attached a 9 volt battery, signals started popping in like crazy. In a couple of minutes I heard an urgent message from a ship's captain off Seattle asking for a navigator to help him through shallow water. Not bad, considering I live near Chicago! Hot Performers! These small regenerative receivers are extremely simple, but do they ever perform! I've built dozens of them, and they never fail to amaze me! Even master machinist, Dave Gingery has built these sets. This is the nuts for the experimenter, the survivalist who is concerned about basic communication, shortwave listeners, ham radio operators who collect old receivers, and just about anyone interested in old-time radio. Great book. Best old-time radio book I've ever seen. And I look at every one I can get my hands on. Consider it carefully. Even if you never build one of these radios, you'll get hours of enjoyable reading out of this book. Top rate. Order a copy. 8 1/2 x 11 softcover 260 pages
