It is amazing how my perception of any given radio from my misguided youth 
changed when I get one on the table today :-)

Over the years I've acquired -- and passed on -- almost every receiver I used 
as a kid in the 50's/60's -- BC-455, BC-312N, RME 4350A (with SB adapter), 
SX-100.  The only thing I haven't replaced and tried for a while, and may at 
some point, is an HQ-140X.

I have also picked up all the transmitters I used from that era:  DX-20, DX-40, 
Scout 680, Eico 720/730, Globe Champ 300, and then some.  And those I've 
restored to working condition and hung on to.  Don't use them all, or any of 
them frequently any more for that matter, but haven't been able to bring myself 
to let someone else have them yet, either :-)

Re: [AMRadio] RE 75A4 and other old gear

[Bernie Doran]

Hi all: James's HRO50 sounds like the oldest so far. I also acquired an HRO 
50-1 in the spring and am still trying to get it going. got a 75A2 abt two 
moths ago and it is now recapped and sounds great. it is a better rx than my 
FT1000 Mark V, that thing hears stuff that is not there!!!  always have 
mixed feelings about modifying very much, but that is exactly what the 
factories did, ex. HRO50 and then HRO50-1.  glad I posted that query.

wish I had my heath AT-1 back, 1954,   the first six mo, with that was more 
excitment that the last 50 + years. I worked at Universal Service in Cols( 
Gibby W8IJ)  , lived at home, made $1.20 per hour when I bought the 75A4.  3 
mos pay!!!  Bernie

Re: [AMRadio] 75A4 and other old gear

[Daniel Wright]

I still have my original Heathkit "Twoer" that was given (sold fer $15) 
to me by my Elmer. I also was able to find the EFJ Ranger that I bought 
from Henry Radio in Butler, Missouri, back in 1964 when I got my general 
class ticket. The ham that had it GAVE it back to me and even paid for 
shipping to my house in Nebraska from Minnesota!

Of course, over the years I have been able to purchase "copies" of most 
of the gear I had when I started outplus a few items that I drooled 
over but could not afford back then.

[AMRadio] RE 75A4 and other old gear

I have my original HRO-50, purchased new from Steinburgs in Cincinnati in the 
summer of 1950 (thanks, Dad!).  It's had a few mods over the years, like a pair 
of mechanical filters and a tee-notch, a product detector and audio derived 
avc, saturated reactor filament regulation for the local oscillator, mixer, and 
bfo, a noise limiter ala the NC-303, and a calibrator that gives me markers at 
100 kc, 50 kc, 25 kc, or 10 kc.  I also put a muffin exhaust fan on the back

Re: [AMRadio] 75A4 and other old gear

[David Hollander]

I'm not old enough for gear 50 or more years old but can do over 40 
years old.

I still have the Hallicrafters S-41W receiver my dad gave me in 1962. He 
bought it new during WWII.

I also have my AN/GRR-5 and all accessories which my cousin got out of 
MARS gave me back in 1964 although it was gone for almost 30 years. Sold 
it to a local collector here in Phoenix in the 70's and I ended up 
getting it back a few years ago. I did pay more than I originally sold 
it to him for. He took very good care of it and it still had the Yellow 
Submarine and Sargent Pepper decals I had put on it as a teenager!!

Re: [AMRadio] 75A4 and other old gear

[Carl Yaffey]

I have acquired several rigs that are like the ones I either had back in the 
1950's or WISH I had:
Viking Ranger I
National NC303
Viking Valiant
Heat AT-1/VF-1
Hammarland HQ-140XA
Hallicrafters S-38A

All are working! I've enjoyed putting the Viking rigs on the air on the first 
Wednesday AM night.

While it is MUCH older than I am, I picked up a DX-60 and HG-10 Brand 
New in the Box at a yard sale for a SK last year. I use it a good bit on 
75 Meter AM :-) I also got some new unbuilt kits of Eico Test Equipment 
from the same person I put together.

There is no limitation to the fidelity of AM radio. From a mathematical 
standpoint, AM does better in frequency response than FM. - Leonard Kahn

I wish I still had some of the original ham gear.  I do still have my first 
Heathkit -- a V-7A -- which I assembled circa 1957.  Still use it, too :-)

[AMRadio] 75A4 and other old gear

[Bernie Doran]

I have a 75A4 that I purchased new as a pup and I was just wondering how 
many are out there still in the hands of their original owner, probably not 
very many. Now I realize that there is probably someone who has the entire A 
line in never opened boxes! anyway, I am curious as to how many pieces of 
old gear, say 50 or more years old, are still with the original owner. That 
might make an interesting tabulation.  any ideas? Bernie W8RPW
