Heathkit Restoration Paints and Parts

[Lawrence P Knapp]

     There has been some recent reflector messages regarding paint for the
     early Heath (Apache, Mohawk..., in essence the Indian series) and some
     of the later Heath (SB, HW...etc.).  Wal-Mart paint may be very good
     and perhaps very easily obtained.  However, in this day and age, I
     believe we should patronize places which, if we don't, may go out of
     business.  We should all recognize places "that have gone out of
     business" because people went other places....Heath, Allied....etc.

     I would recommend that before we patronize Wal-Mart (I really don't
     think THEY will go out of business soon) that another place be
     considered for paint and perhaps a few other items.  Regarding Paints
     for old equipment (Boatanchors).................


     R&R Designs, Marshall, Wisconsin, has advertised paints for most every
     old (and in some cases) more recent boatanchors.  They advertise that
     they have Heathkit, Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Drake, Johnson, Eico,
     National, Yaesu, Kenwood, Gonset paints.  Plus they have some other
     items for radio restorers especially Heathkit.  These other items
     include:

     Heathkit drive belts for the SB & HW series; original power plugs and
     sockets; RCA jacks; SB200/220 modification kits; A Heathkit Technical
     Journal.

     Robert and Roberta Hummel ARE Hams, so they should be patronized as
     much as possible.  I hope they Don't go out of business.
