Build a nostalgic radio with a real vacuum tube and explore the airwaves as they did in the 1930s! Historic technology comes to life again with 30 engaging experiments. Assembling this radio is a fun project for radiomen, tinkers and gadget-buffs of all ages. Once your radio is up and running, hunting for radio transmissions becomes a fun challenge. While learning how the radio works, you will discover the fundamental parts of electrical circuits. The radio is pre-wired for easy assembly. Users need only to plug in the various components, attach an antenna and a ground wire, and make tuning adjustments to get the radio working. The wooden base is beautifully finished with a polished cherry stain and golden labels for an authentic look. The vacuum tube glows with a soft orange glow when you are using it! Instructions, experiments and additional configurations for the radio are described in the 32-page full-color experiment manual. A double triode allows for experiments with different circuits. Just switch the coils to tap into different wave bands: one coil for am frequencies and one for shortwave. Transport yourself back to the early days of radio, and become a real radio ace! Includes: experiment manual, pre-wired wooden base, vacuum tube, medium wave coil, shortwave coil, antenna wire, ground wire, headphones, radio dial sheets, attachment screws, washers, requirements: 8 aa batteries (not included)
