Here's
Carl Nord's (WA1KPD) Homebrew
TNT Transmitter. It runs a 45 tube and has coils for 160,
80 and 40. This design came out of the 1932 handbook and was replicated
as closely as possible. The rig has been on the air in the Dec
99 AWA contest. See Carl Nord's site

Another
great looking rig by Rick Weber, W9QZ. This one is a 1929
vintage regenerative receiver built from plans in an old ARRL
Handbook. Chassis components of bakelite and aluminum are new.
Almost all electronic components are from the 1929 era.

Pete
Sables sends us information on his receiver known as the Distance
Getter.
The
idea of a Distance Getter receive goes back to 1932. If you were
lost on a desert island, could you build a radio to get news.
The only thing you had was a selection of valve. You did also
have wire but only for the coil. The valve used in this project
is the PM2 and only 2 volts for the heater. Perhaps one could
get that voltage from a crate of lemons.;-) But then you only
needed 65volts for the plate!

Here's
a 1930's TNT by K8LKC using a 6SN7. The circuit from the 1930
radio handbook calls this a single control transmitter.
