[Boatanchors] Q-5'er info wanted

[solo22@sbcglobal.net]

Many years ago, *many*, we novices being very broke,  built a very 
special converter.  It appeared in  QST or CQ magazine.  It used a 
broadcast variable capacitor and various crystals to convert novice ham 
band segments to 200-550 kc.  A 6800kc crystal would convert the whole 
40 mtr band down to a frequency that a Command Set (BC453)  could tune.  
This was one "damn good!" receiver, and for CW,  would run along with 
any commercial ham receiver of the day.  My question is...can anyone 
provide me information on what issue of what magazine, this was in?  I 
still have  a like new  BC453 and would love  to rebuild my  old  novice 
receiver.
