Hi Scott - I built that receiver in 1966 when I was 13. My dad bought me 
all the parts at Henry Radio. I punched the chassis, assembled and wired 
it. Could not get it to work so asked my dad to help. He was an engineer 
at Collins Radio in Newport Beach, California at that time and not yet a 
ham. He spent quite a few hours on it and got it going but it never 
worked right. The whole project was a big disapointment for both of us. 
Don't recall any more details. Maybe it was an April Fools article :-)

Good luck,

Dave N7RK (ex-WB6NRK)
