SUPERHETERODYNE RADIO WITH JUST 2 TUBES

Most if not all of us in the chat group are already verify familiar with tube amps. No need for further lessons here. Besides, the hybrid tube amp has for its final amp, an IC. We can limit the tubes to the essential to make a superhet radio. Just 2 tubes. We all have tube amps to amplify the audio. 1. Just use the first two tubes,either the SA and the SK or the BE and BA. 2. Use a 1 amp power supply traffo, 6 or 12 V. 3. The RF tubes do not need a HV, the 12 V secondary an be by putting a voltge double. Or back to back another traffo to get 110 volts isolated. Those 110 volts adaptor will do if the amperae is sufficient. If you an old ps of the Epson printer, it is 32 volts. 4. No need for the rectifier tube then. 5. Audio amp can be a existing tube amp.,or put an IC amp for the audio amp. No need for he power amp tube. 6. The detector cum triode tube can be eliminated, Just use an 1n3 detector diode.
