No criticism from me; quite the contrary, actually...I commend you for taking a bit of trash and turning it into a modified treasure.

I've hot-rodded an 89 and a 71; both were extreme rust buckets, so I feel no guilt in modifying them. I converted both from the original 36 autodyne detectors to 6A7 tubes as first detectors/oscillators.

I would really, really like to see the circuit for that LED tuning indicator.

How did you make a 6J7 into an audio detector as well as audio amp? Oh, never mind; I see you added diodes for the second detector and AVC.

11 watts, eh? Now that's cool! 8) Icon_thumbup
