Early (1948) Heath transmitter

[Steven W. Siter]

Does anyone have any information on the early Heath transmitter as shown in a
March 1948 "Radio News" magazine advertisement?  The following taken from
that advertisement.

"HEATHKIT TRANSMITTER KIT"
A best buy in an amateur transmitter kit.  Circuit uses latest post war
improvements, can be assembled to cover 80-40-20-10 meters with 25 Watt
output.  Comes complete with 80 meter crystal, modulator, 80 meter coil, four
tubes, cabinet, beautiful panel and all additional parts needed less power
supply.  Blueprints and instructions included.  Power supply kit $10.00
additional.  Shipping weight 20 pounds, 8 pounds for power supply."

Does anyone know if this kit was ever produced at all?
How many kits were produced?
Dimensions of the kit or power supply?
Photographs of the kit or power supply?
Schematic of the kit or power supply?
Power supply voltages?
Tubes used?  (My bet is a single 1619 oscillator, modulated by a pair of
1619's with a 1626 driver.)
Are any known to exist?
Any other information?

Thanks, Steve Siter, K1WGN
