I have been building radios since I was a teen ager. The radios on this page are just a fraction of what I have built over the years. My early designs were very simple, with 2 and 3 transistors only. Eventually, I discovered integrated circuits and used them extensively in my subsequent designs. Looking for a change, I ventured into vintage land and decided to build an old fashioned tube radio. The experience was so rewarding, I built 8 tube radios in about 4 years, the last of which was an advanced 9-tube stereo FM receiver with solid-state MPX decoder, my best tube radio to date.

Some people ask me "why tube radios?". Well, for the nostalgia, for the love of glowing tubes, and for the challenge of building radios the way they were built many years ago. After all, real radios glow in the dark!
