Yea...Some of the cheap Heath stuff was really the pits, especially
their cheap receivers. I suppose you get what you pay for most of the
time.

I bought a Cantenna in 1971 and the resistor was off value by 10 ohms.
They sent me another one though and I'm still using it 26 years later.
BTW, I used real tranformer oil from the power company.
