The "other" Heath book

[van lincoln]

Chuck, ( an ALL the other reflector members)  I have a question for anyone.

I just came into possession of one of Heathkits first kits.  It's been in a
barn
in Benton Harbor Michigan for many years.  It is an A-1 Audio Amlifier, and
the original schematic is dated 8/13/48  A25

The tubes are a 5Y3 Rectifier, 2-1619 metal tubes for the push-pull output,
and a 6SL7 (2 halves) for the input stages.

it's built on a steel chassis, obviously uses WWII surplus transformers,
and is covered with LOT's of dust.  I also have all the tubes, I am ALSO sure
this is a NON-working unit.  Some of the parts have a lead off the
terminals etc.
looks like an experimental unit.

The question.  How much is it worth as an antique, and is anyone interested,
or should I just put it on EBAY auction.

thanks Chuck and the Group.
