if you could find a good HRO that would be a great real old timer, a small
tube like the 6ag7 driving a 6L6 makes a great old style 25 watt cw rig.
moving up to great AM gear would be the 75A2 or 3 combined with a 32V2 or 3,
if ssb/cw consider 75A4 and KWS1, I have both fully restored and they are
just as good or better than when I bought them in the mid 50s. The 75A4
beats the hell out of my Ft1000 mark V. they are not for sale, least not

Subject: [AMRadio] Life in the mid to late '30s
How did a new ham back in the mid to late 1930's typically get on the
air? I imagine he'd probably have been loaned a receiver and perhaps
a handbook to use while he built his own transmitter? Would a novice
have built his own receiver as well or would this have been uncommon?
I'd like to put together a vintage shack from this era. I'm just
trying to determine if I should just buy a receiver such as an RME-69
or HRO and homebrew the rest of the station.
