Looks like a not-to-be-repeated opportunity -- I'm certainly going to 
go for a set.   I've been hoping to find or build one of those 
FOREVER.

I did ask the seller if he had more than one set; he didn't answer 
that question tho he did answer some others like does he have the 
front end tuning caps (no).   From that and the fact that he says he 
has 'inherited the factory stock' I think it's most likely that he 
has multiple sets.   I bid GBP 12.00 (about $21) but was outbid; I'm 
going to leave it at that and see what happens post-auction.  

There are three bidders so far.   The seller says airmail shipping 
would be about GBP 9.75.  

I think if some of us want to build up G2DAF sets with original front-
end coils we'll probably get the chance.   The auction ends Sunday, 
10:15 AM PST.

Currently working on a six-tube receiver: 19J6 mixer, 12AU7 LO/3rd 
Audio, 19JN8 1st IF/2nd Audio-AGC driver, 19JN8 2nd IF/plate 
detector, 19JN8 1st Audio/BFO, 35W4 rectifier.   'Transformerless,' 
80/40 by band imaging with 5400 kcs IF, LO tuning 1400-1900 kcs.   
Half lattice crystal filter in IF, xtal controlled BFO.   Works well 
for a fairly simple design -- copied OZ, M0, and somebody in Poland 
on 80 using my 160 meter wave loop this evening.   Selectivity's so-
so but freq stability is outstanding.  AGC instability on carriers is 
a problem -- there's always one.

And sure enough ...

Same guy, same description and picture, same starting price.   I'm 
guessing he has a bunch of those coils. 

So I'm going to bid again, same amount as last time.   Chances are 
that the second high bidder will get his this time; I think I was 
actually fifth high.   This might take a few weeks ...

I can build that receiver without those coils if need be, and I have 
enough projects to hold me for a year while I wait to see.

Hi,

I note recently some mention of the G2DAF receiver coils on the HBR site,
and am most interested., as this set has not come to my attention before.
Can you give me some source info where I can research the
circuit/description?

Many thanks,

Bill  W2DGB

Hello again...

In reviewing the HBR listing, I see no mention of the HBR 13C. Since I
have
a kit of parts for one, and it is well into the planning and layout
stage,
any help from prior builders would certainly be appreciated.

I currently own 5 HBRs, and now I have this -13C kit, so I guess I have 5
1/2 HBRs. They are a fun radio!

Dear OM,
 
Back around the seventies I built  an HBR 13C receiver and was very happy
of the results. Unfortunatly it was stolen from my home in 1976
 
Is it possible that I could find all the parts needed for a new
construction of this receiver?
 
If you can give me some addresses where I can inquire about the
availability of the parts I will be greatful to you.
 
Awaiting your early reply
 
Best 73's
 
OD5FH, Berj.
