My Favourite Valve Radio Site Related Links And Site Navigation Page 


My Favourite Links Related To Radio Construction

Cool386's Australian Site of Vintage Technology Mostly FM and some designs and circuits very similar to mine.

Alan Yates' Laboratory Some good radio circuits but mostly Solid State and a good article on his home made Foster  Seeley and Ratio FM detector used in many UK Valve and Transistor FM Radios of the 1960s and 70s.

Fun With Tubes Features some good circuits and articles related to valve regenerative MW receivers and a couple of Superhet design. He also gives you full details on how to make homemade superhet receiver coils for the standard AM Medium wave broadcast band.

RADIO and BROADCAST HISTORY library with thousands of books and magazines (worldradiohistory.com)

Vintage Radio and Electronics I would honestly admit this is my second favourite of all radio construction sites. It features articles and history on both the UK magazines Practical Wireless, Still available today and the late Radio Constructor magazine which sadly ceased publication during the early 1980s. Some very good valve and transistor related circuits to keep you entertained.

UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Some very good and detailed information on repairing valve radios and safety advice. Also has some useful projects such as a high voltage electrolytic capacitor reformer and current lamp limiter which is an essential item to process when testing and powering up your valve built projects for the first time. There is also a gallery of virtually all the UKs most popular and bottom of the range radios he has repaired.    

The Valve Page Similar to the link above but mostly has articles related to the old 405 Line UK TV days and early 625 Line Colour Television development. Has some very detailed information of the popular UK Sets made under the brands of Bush, Philips and Sobell. Very enjoyable site to keep you entertained over the Winter evenings.
