I like a radio that you have to build parts just to get it to work. It makes the sounds sweeter when you know exactly how much work you put into it. I used to have a crystal radio that I listened to when I was working in my garage that I made from a paper towel tube. It was great! This kit isn’t a crystal radio but it does have a vacuum tube in it. Oh yeah, nothing says cool more than a glowing valve! This kit will make any home tinkerer happy, heck it will make tech bloggers happy too (hint hint, oh brother of mine!).

This is great! Not only is it fun to put together and use, it looks slick as well. I wouldn’t mind having one of those on my desk at work.
