Make Your Own Vintage Vacuum Tube Radio with this DIY Radio Ace Kit

Tweet

Initially when we happened across this rather cool vintage vacuum tube radio kit we thought we would post it on the premise that it would be a inspiring educational kit for young children but, on reflection, and having realised we would rather like one ourselves, we suspect that this Radio ACE Vintage Radio Kit probably has far wider appeal across all age ranges.

The Radio ACE Vintage Radio Kit comes with pre-wired components allowing for relatively easy assembly which consists of a vacuum tube, medium wave coil, shortwave coil, antenna and ground wires, as well as headphones and all the necessary screws and washers required for building a comply functional 1930’s style vacuum radio – with the detail going so far as in the provision of wooden casing panels.

The kit itself comes with a 32 page manual with detailed assembly instructions which also offers a range of 30 related experiments that are sure to keep young children (and nostalgia fuelled geeks) more than happy for a good few hours with the resulting Am/Shortwave radio unit measuring in at 14.5’ x 11.5’ x 6’.

The Radio ACE Vintage Radio Kit, which, when fully assembled, measures in at 14.5’ x 11.5’ x 6’, retails for $99.95.
