Unknown Heathkit Receiver

[Scott Cowling]

Hi Dave,

If you look closely in the upper right corner of the dial glass, it says 
"MODEL AR-1".

According to Penson in his "Guide to the Amateur Products", it first 
appeared in Heath's 1949 Christmas flyer.

The gray cabinet that you have on your unit was an optional accessory.

The AR-1 was the precursor to the AR-2 and AR-3 receivers that were 
produced until 1961.
