I Just Built a Heathkit!

[Bob/WB0AUQ]

OK, the purists can relax, actually I just re-built an HP-23A power
supply.  This started out with idea of just replacing the caps but once
inside and a visual of the original constructor's work, one thing led to
another and before I realized it, the supply was totally disassembled.
Natural thing to do was clean it all up, do some touch-up painting, and
start from scratch.  Replaced all the caps and diodes and most of the
resistors.  Found myself skipping the step-by-step instructions and just
worked from the schematic and the pictorial.  It had been over twenty
years since I assembled a Heathkit.  Sure was fun.  Other list members
have spoken of totally disassembling and reassembling more complex kits
and I think this one may just have been a "starter" for me.  Am thinking
in terms of maybe one of the single-banders next.....
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
