When I got into ham radio in the late '50s it was more common for
transmitters to be homebrewed than bought, especially if you include
kits as "homebrewed".  Thinking back on all my friends from those
days, not one had a commercially made transmitter.

Receivers were a different matter.  Nearly all were commercial or
modified war surplus, which there was a ton of back then.

Ahhhhh... the good ol' days.  :-)
