Heathkit
Wow! That Heathkit on the bay went for a hefty price. Did anyone here get it?

man, over $700 is a pretty heafty price. Especially considering that you'll need to buy all new capacitors. I would NEVER use the ones in the kit that have been sitting 30+ years.

I sure wish I could find a heath roundie. My grandfather built one back in the early 60s, but unfortunately he never kept it. Can you imagine what a complete unbuilt kit of one of those would go for?
