[Milsurplus] Well, There Was This BC-669 In The Barn....

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Excellent! A cool set that sounds pretty nice, even through a dinky lap top
speaker.

It's really great seeing another old piece of gear come back to life. IMO,
this is what will save many from the scrapper - when you can actually see
and hear it function. This transforms it from heavy-scrap-whatever to
working-old-something-worth-keeping/selling. Something even future
generations with no knowledge of radio can understand.

I've been reviving a bunch of early 20s TRF receivers over the last couple
years. Always a thrill to hear something come out the other end. Your video
gives me that same 'magic of radio' 'feeling.

Good work, Dave.
