        Yes, you certainly did!  I bid against you on that beauty, but had
to back away when the bidding got too high.  I guess I don't have to tell
you, unbuilt kits do not come cheap.  OTOH, an identical, pre-built IM-38
showed up on my doorstep Saturday.  Looks great.

        I did get one unbuilt kit I could afford, a capacitor substitution
box.

        Oh, well, it's better than nothing, and at least I'll get a
much-needed fix of solder fumes <g>.
