That sure is a nice looking kit. Its no wonder you couldn’t afford it. The CPI inflation calculator pegs $24.95 1967 dollars as $141.26 2004 dollars! That’s a lot of cash for any AM radio.

The Heathkit reminder brings back fond memories though. I built a VTVM around that time. I would have been in 8th or 9th grade. I think it cost $29.95. Tossed a lot of newspapers to earn that kind of money. I still have the VTVM, but haven’t looked at it in years.
