super-regen receivers: a rhetorical question

[Sandy G]

1) It is Old; therefore,
2) It is Valuable.
3) The Great Unwashed know no better- If "genny" sets are so good, why aren't they still makin' 'em ?
4) For what some Boobinson is gonna lay out for this set, he could have him a very decent Hallicrafters, or possibly, an R-390A...and THEN he'd have something. Regenerative sets have their place, but unless you wanna be constantly fiddling w/the dials, listening to it yowl 'n' yelp, you'd be better off spending yr money for a proper radio....

I suspect most are being purchased for nostalgic reasons, possibly something they owned as a youth and want to relive the experiance Certainly there are better receivers for the same of less prices.
