A website deticated to Boathancors, with lots of pictures of some of the most popular ol tube radios from Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Heathkit, Lafayette, National, Zenith and some projects. Boatanchor is amateur radio slang for heavy old tube radio equipment. Originally derogatory, the term is now used affectionately. Seeing an old set working like new after careful repair, cleaning, and alignment gives one great satisfaction.
