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 simple, using 2 and 3 transistors only. Eventually, I discovered integrated circuits and used them extensively in my later 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 a hybrid 9 tube-3 IC stereo FM receiver with a solid-state MPX decoder for stereo reception.
