and a model very similar to this one

in working condition. I recently changed the ECL86  triode / pentode in the output stage. It dearly needs replacement of some capacitors, too.

Cool. Does that literally translate to "peoples receiver"?

Does it still function?

I like saying the word sorghum. What setting do you use for milo?

We only raise corn and soybeans here, so that is all it's used for.  We used to raise wheat, but stopped before getting the moisture tester.

It's disassembled, and no ammo in the house, but I have a 1916 Ruby pistol.  One of my grandfathers used it on the job.

Should have been the oldest tech that you still use. I would have replied with a mechanical Hasselblad from 1975.

I'm not the original owner, but I have an HP35 calculator from '72 or '73 and it still works.

As far as I know. I've never attempted to fired it, don't have ammunition for.it, don't really have much interest in doing so.
