Jeeez, I had a whole room full of Heathkit and Elco stuff. Another
popular one ( around here anyway) was Lafayette Radio.
There was SAM's also. They had schematics for everything. I didn't
save any of it though. What I did save is all my echo chamber
inventions. At about 13 years old, I started playing the guitar and
echo chamber sound was being used in studio recordings and I wanted to
make my guitar sound "cool". So I came up with a few ideas that worked
pretty good. Nowdays, everything is digital, so it's pretty easy, but
back in the vacuum tube era, it wasn't.

Anyone here ever make a crystal radio?  Uhhh ..... you remember
radio ..... don'tcha?  It's like TV but without a picture.

And .... Oh yeah ...... Prior to vacuum tubes and radios, we just used
to yell from one mountain to the other from our caves. If you just cup
your hands around your mouth and move them around while your yelling,
using a high pitch .......
Oh...... ummmm ..... never mind.
