AT-1 Question

[Marshall M. Dues]

Hello, All,

I'm looking at my 1956 edition of the ARRL Handbook advertisers
section for Heathkits and the AT-1 transmitter pictured has black
knobs, but, the VF-1 VFO pictured right above the AT-1 has gray
knobs, as does the DX-100 pictured right across from the VF-1 on
the previous page.  Apparently, at that time period, Heath was
using both colors for their knobs.

Incidentally, the prices in 1956 were $29.50 for the AT-1, $19.50
for the VF-1, and $189.50 for the DX-100.

Best regards,
