[Boatanchors] DO YOU REMEMBER?

[Ron.K3PID]

My folks gave me the "The Boys' First Book of Radio and Electronics" by 
Alfred Morgan in 1954. I seem to recall that I built a 1 tube reciever from 
that! It was also on a board with Fahnstock clips. I see that the book is 
still available as a collectors edition for $235.... whew!
