Hi Im looking for the original diagram/ schematic given with the october 1961 issue (?) of Practical Wireless. No luck on ebay. Ive downloaded this off a radio site but at A4 size its pretty poor quality. I remember wanting to build this 3 stage receiver way back when I was around 14 but lack of funds stopped all that. Now Im a LOT older and 'experienced' (ha ha !) I would like to while away a few hours constructing it. Cheers

Assuming it is the PW "Tutor" I have a copy of the blueprint which I can scan either as 4 A4 sheets tonight or 2 A3 sheets at work tomorrow.

I also have a surplus copy of the October 1961 PW which you can have for £1 including postage.

Was the for the PW Junior, a one transistor (OC71) set that could be expanded to cover long wave? I believe it was a cover subject. I have the magazine but not the blueprint. I did find the blueprint on the internett a few years ago and I think that I did download that.

This was the first transistor reciever I constructed and the OC71 cost over £5 then, I get the idea I was had.
