2020 Radio Building Competition - My Entry - Two valve Radio 

Hi Michal, thanks for pointing that out, that makes perfect sense, I was thinking of reflex more than regen 👍🙂

I worked on a Pye unit that had feedback from the primary of the output transformer. Clever set up but could stop the receiver from working IF a fault occurred and NOT just because of a fault with the output transformer going open circuit et 😗 It recycled part of the anode signal output through the circuit and grid assembly. Clever. One of the radios in my collection is a 8 band 8 valve Pye radio and complete work over, produced a set that family and friends still love to see / working et.

We all would love to see what you would come up with a project like this, knowing you, you would probably make your own Tubes hahaha. Merry Christmas Mr. C, and thank you for yet another year of amazing videos and sharing your knowledge with the world.

Hi Paul, thank you. the competition was better than I expected, I was surprised. I'm working my way through your latest video between Christmas functions. Merry Christmas Paul 🙂

Thanks Lynton. It is amazing, everything works better with Bluetooth. No doubt you will be better than ever once you are all healed up. (sorry for ending a sentence with a preposition) All the best for Christmas and the New Year. I expect you will find a new project under the Xmas tree 🎄🙂

Hi David thanks for the reply. Well I am still working on the Hacker radio I mentioned a while ago. The initial set turned out to be a bit of a disaster with crumbling IF cores, stripped core supports, a faulty tuning cap that was beyond repair, and an FM board that refused to play. It was only fit for the bin! However yesterday I was given an identical chassis in much better condition so I am still hopeful. Not fit enough to get into the workshop at the moment (and it is far too cold - below zero deg C last night). But as soon as I am a little better the work will continue. Santa didn’t disappoint either, even brought me a new battery drill, and soldering iron! Take care young man. Keep up the good work. Best regards Lynton P.S. Don’t worry about the grammar, it’s only a note/comment. I have forgotten most of the rules of grammar anyway.👍🏻🤨🤣

@@lyntonprescott3412 You have a good Santa 😉 I hope you have a speedy recovery and back into the Hacker soon... well once it warms up a bit. Cheers, all the best.

Thank Jacob, happy holidays to you also 😀
