Solid-state conversion of a tube-type communications receiver

A Hammarlund SUPER-PRO SP-210 communications receiver of approximately 1940 design was rebuilt using modern solid-state components and associated circuitry in replacement of the original eighteen vacuum tubes. Replacement was effected in a stage- for-stage manner so as to utilize, wherever prac...
