Heathkit Tuner Question

[Larry Gauthier]

Dave,

Actually, the SB104 arrived about a year prior to the arrival of the
matching <pardon the double-entendre> tuners. When we got the 104 out in the
hands of hams who were accustomed to matching tube rigs into anything from
coat-hangers to clothes-lines, we knew we needed an accompanying tuner line
for our just-released (and upcoming) solid state rigs.
