Lee - you seem to be describing a different "Eagle". The original post (which John was replying to, and included in his reply) describes the Gross Eagle as a 1933 regenerative receiver:
" A 1933 Gross Radio Company Eagle regen RX, complete with all four coils and documentation. Think of a National SW-3, with a single coil rather the SW-3's two. Band coverage is 200 meters down to 15 meters. A pair of type 32 tubes, and a single 33 in the AF output." I have seen and operated that receiver, as the person who had originally made that post on the AWA reflector (Bruce, W1UJR) is a good friend of mine and lives nearby. See: http://www.w1ujr.net/bruces_bench_2008.htm Second "project" down the page, immediately following the snow static discussion. 73, -Larry/NE1S LEE BAHR wrote: > The Eagle sold for less > money then the Philmore.
