Re: Off Topic
You probably still have a superhetrodyne setup if you own an AM radio
- it's a way of selecting and filtering the signal you want to avoid
interference from adjacent channels.
More cars had radios than some here seem to think - I remember going
through the junk yards pulling the from the old wrecks just for the
vacuum tubes - cheap way to get replacements.. They were basically
the 5-tube specials with a vibrator-based power supply (hummmm...).
Problem was, a couple of hours parked with the radio on was enough to
drain that 6-volt battery and the generators on most cars couldn't put
out enough juice to handle both the headlights and the radio unless
you were on the hiway at 50-60 mph. Made for lots of interesting "war
stories" when you got the gal home late.
