I agree with you there. While working on my boat the other day someone told me to "take away" a radio and radiogram. This turned out to be fake with a modern PCB board inside. Still it had a small AM LW ferrite aerial and stuff to add to my scrap box. I figure I have enough stuff to make a radio (on the cheap). Once boat work is complete and the weather turns. I would make it the old way on a chassis and my spare GE transistors. Far better than reading books.
Of course the boat project has gone very well and I hope to move on soon and put my steel boat up for sale. If it works out hopefully I can expand the radio work although I now need to build a workshed. I'll be sad to lose the steel boat but my glass fibre alternative will be less stress and money plus I will get better signals.
