[BC] My first real receiver...

[RON DOT'O SR.]

I inherited a Skybuddy from my foster father and still use it occasionally as the sensitive null detector when I read a tower base resistance.  I love that little radio.  I retubed it with NOS tubes and aligned it and it runs great.  I found the manual for it on the BAMA site.
