Its a Schnell !

This is my version of a Schnell receiver from about 1924. I revised it to tune from about 900 kc up to the 40 meter ham band.

Stinson 99
I bought this from Dave Stinson a while back hence the name. It uses three UV199s in a medium-wave regenerative circuit.

My version of this popular commercial receiver kit. Very impressive performance.
