1) Old, tube-type radios such as the GGV and GGT series are NOT expensive.
In many cases, if you had a some laying around, you'd be lucky to find
someone to take them without charging you to do so.
2) While audio purists do tend to prefer tube for "hi fidelity" uses, that
truism in non-sequitur to RF applications, particularly NBFM applications.
3) As the saying goes, you can't change the laws of physics.
My suggestion, as someone who has built repeaters from Motorola strips
(Sensicon A's anyone?) is it simply isn't worth it these days. Modern
radios are FAR FAR superior in just about everyway to those older G strips.
