Philco 37-116 and Zenith 9S-262
#21

It's great learning experience!!! I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner but someone who understands how it works or if they don't can figure it out from the schematic should be fine with it as a restoration project. At the end you get a very nice surprise a great looking and sounding set that will give you many years of enjoyment!!!!
Now days I guess it's not that big of a deal to hear signals from thousands of miles away with the advent of the net and cell fones and the like. But to me there's a certain amount of magic involved. Just think with my little radio and a little antenna I can hear stations thousands of miles away Doesn't matter whether it's a little two or three tube regen set or a big gun like the 37-116.I kinda like the smaller sets to see what they can do. Not only do I get the opportunity to fix up a few of these old guys but I get a chance to talk to people too via the air waves. Any way you look at it it's great fun!!
