Franzis tube radio to build yourself

Special tube radio sound
You may still remember tube radios from the 1950s., the mysterious green glow of the magic eye, the pale light of the dial backlight, the glow of the lamps if you look inside - plus the polished wooden case and the beautiful sound.
You always had to wait a while for the lamps to heat up. Amplifier tubes continue to play an important role in broadcast and audio technology. Our own experiments with lamps are therefore more than just a nostalgic look back, but also result in concrete and serious applications.
The work of the lamp can be observed through a window! There are rotary controls for volume, feedback and frequency, as well as a ground connector and three antenna jacks.
Let yourself be transported back to the good old days - when it was still common to build your own radio.
For advanced hobbyists and fans of tube radios, there is another extremely exciting configuration option: By combining two sets of tubes, the original ("single-circuit") design can be expanded to a "double-circuit" one with an HF preamp tube of the same type.
Bring stations from around the world into your home with this tube radio. You can even receive amateur radio stations with the device. Tube radio achieves the receiving power of the modern world receiver.
