>I loved the Lafayette catalog.  Studied it in detail and decided to ask for
a Lafayette HA-600A receiver for christmas (1973).  This RX opened up the
shortwave world for me.  Last year I found one for sale and bought it in a
fit of nostalgia. 25 bucks! One bad 2n2222 in the front end.  I now use it
for shortwave listening lots of fun.  I also acquired a 1974 Lafayette
catalog. Lots of fun.
