Lafayette HE-45 Pictures?

[kd4e]

It was KD4E.  I looked for a HE-50 picture with no joy
either.  Odd that these Lafayette rigs are Internet-invisible.

Anyhow, I have looked over the HE-45 and HA-460 schematics
and decided they were no improvement over my Knight TR-106
station which I am selling.

I was hoping one of them might employ dual finals in
push-pull but they all used the common single 2CE6.

Good introductory rigs for their day but not worth gobs
of time and resources to restore.  IMHO.

Our 11yr old son just received his Ham license today
so I need to get him set up with a 2/440 and a 10M rig.
Our 9.5yr old daughter is next!

Anyone have a 2/440 and a 10M rig to swap for a TR-106
station (rig, V-107 VFO, generic hand mic, Knight P2
1.8 - 440MHz SWR-PWR meter -- and I am buying a complete
manual with schematic) and an E.F. Johnson 6&2 VFO?
