[Amps] Panasonic tube radio

[Crawfish]

The first Handbook I ever read was at my rural high school in north Alabama.
It was the 1968 edition and over the next 3 years, it was checked out by at
least 5 people constantly, and only one of us got our ham license. Got me
mixed up into all this crazy electronics and radio stuff, from which I hope
I never escape.
