The NE1S 2008 Christmas Gift To W1UJR

On January 3, 2009 I was presented with a most wonderful homebrew creation by my good
great friend Larry NE1S. As you can see from the photos, Larry is a very accomplished home-brewer
of vintage radio gear, and like myself, a real fan of equipment from the 1920-1930s. Larry has named
the rig the "Pilot Quasi-Wasp" as it is based loosely on the Pilot Wasp receiver from the late 1920s.

The rig uses three 201A tubes, one as a detector, and the other two as 1st and 2nd stages of audio,
it has plug-in cols to cover from the AM broadcast band up to 10 Mc. Larry built it using vintage
black bakelite panels with period components where possible, and it works as wonderfully
as it looks!

Instructions and a detailed write up can be found on the images at the bottom of the page!
You can see more of Larry's handiwork at
