Yes, that's another point ....it smells right as those tubes heat up and a good warm transformer.....ahhhhh. 
It was one of the times that a kid could build a radio, have it come to life (several of my early homebrew projects "didn't work exactly right"), and then impress everyone with the storebought rigs with it's performance.....because it WAS equal to of better than what they were using. It was one of the homebrew projects that you didn't build and put on the shelf ....you actually used it and with pleasure. Great design point !

Lee's words were very well constructed, and as in the HBR's, his design 
worked admirably.

My old HBR-11 is not much for "pretty", but is absolutely FUN to play with, 
and represents those halcyon daze of youth and yesteryear, when an ordinary 
kid could actually MAKE something that was in the Big Leagues for 
performance.  I guess if you didn't grow up with National ACN dials, and 
such esoteric adventures as coil-winding, you really do NOT understand.. 
that as in many things in life - the joy comes from surviving the pain, and 
succeeding in the face of adversity.

My '11 will still provide READABLE CW on 75m, at .045uv... that's Point Oh 
Four Five microvolts, in case he missed that....  Pretty doggone good.

Besides, it's SMELLS right.
