Folks, Just received a link from a ham radio operator where they do a survey. I just completed it, looks like they are scoping out what to offer in terms of new kits and stuff: That brings back fond memories. I still have my old HW-100 transceiver and the HD-1250 dipmeter (that one is actually in use here). -- Regards, Joerg

Allow me to join you on your trip down Memory Lane. There's a Vacuum Tube Voltmeter Model IM-5228 keepsake that still sits on my shelf (boxed up). My need to de-clutter my life by removing ancient floobydust forced me to dispose of my boat anchor Heathkit TV set a while ago. -- Don Kuenz

Heathkit arising again?

They actually worked pretty well. The tuner and IF strip came assembled and pre-aligned (for obvious reasons). And they included a dot-bar generator for doing convergence. I helped a co-worker with one in the early 1970s.
