Just received the attached note. Has anyone heard of an AC-200 and
possibly have a schematic ?
AC-300 ?

Also, if someone has the specifications (size, turns, wire, etc) of the
AC-100 shortwave coil and 
how it was used (plug-in ?). The direction of the 1-1/2V "A" battery DOES
make a difference 
and when the positive terminal is grounded (slightly positive grid
relative to filament) it sounds
better (less distortion and slightly more volume) with these low B+
levels.

Hi:

I noticed your picture and write-up on the Air Champ AC-100 Regenerative
receiver.
Back about 1957, when I was 15, I built an Air Champ 2 tube radio. It was
probably an AC-200?
It had a loudspeaker.

Do you know where I could obtain a schematic of the Air Champ 2 tube
Radio?

I could use the same tubes, and make up a circuit, but it would be more
fun to duplicate it, as original.

Thanks,
Kent W7DUD
