        Oh my God!!!  I had one of these &$^%%@$#! things, and sent it
back after just two weeks of trying to get it to work.  It's the one
and only Heathkit I can remember having any bad experiences with.  I
would suggest the following options:


        1.      Soak it in gasoline and burn it.

        2.      Place it in a bucket of cement, let it harden,
                then throw it into a lake.

        3.      Place it on a railroad track.

        4.      Use it for target practice.


        I will not sleep well tonight.

Chris
