This radio was salvaged from junk; the paint job is probably mine though 😳 . After I did that, I got hold of some of 's instructions to electronics contractors. My love for NASA holds since those days.

These thoughts bring to mind that the radio equipment back then mostly still used vacuum tubes. Which caused me to wonder whether vacuum tubes were even still be manufactured these days.

Here's what I found out (via #NPR):
