[Milsurplus] A Classic Example of the Homebrew Art

[Mike Feher]

There is no break even point. I used to build similar radios and even more
complicated during that time because I could not afford anything and most
parts could be scrounged from disposed TV sets or cheap surplus stuff. Also
parts were available in stores that could not be obtained from the TV sets
for an affordable price. Later, in HS, I did have metal shop making things a
lot easier. Most young hams built their own rigs unless they had rich
parents.  73 - Mike

I love it! I've always wondered, since I didn't take metal shop, what tools
one needs to build like that? I do know a person can have it done
commercially, the question is where is the break-even point located?

Gang,

 

Not really military, but I've been obsessing over an artifact from 1951 QST,
