  • Notes
  • The Little Jim was a regenerative receiver project designed by John Moyle and published in two issues of the Wireless Weekly magazine from May 20, 1938.

    AC power was used for the heater supply and a 45V battery for B+.  The cabinet had a metal front panel and wooden case.

    A battery version was published in Wireless Weekly, June 1938.

    It proved very popular, and was reprinted in the first edition of Radio and Hobbies magazine in April 1939.

    Kit sets were sold by most radio parts vendors of the period.
