I’m looking for information on the Westinghouse RJ-563 or DRJ-564 vacuum tubes. Anyone know anything about them?

You don’t have to be into old radios as such, but about every good tech I’ve ever known had a decent RF background. When people come up to me and say they want to learn electronics I get them to build a regen receiver, and that sorts out those who have any potential pretty quick. After that mic pre’s and guitar amps go pretty smoothly, because they can follow a schematic, they have some idea about layout and they can at least sort of solder. And it’s cheap.

That said, Bob Pease never had much interest in radios…but he was an engineer. Oh boy, was he.

I read Vintage Guitar at the barber shop, my barber is a guitar hound. There’s also a newsletter called “ToneQuest” he gets, but it’s something like a hundred bucks a year.
