I worked for a Heathkit retail store in the late
70's.  Brief but neat experience.

I have a bunch of Ham sale and swap web pages and
mail lists that I try to keep up to date here:
http://bibleseven.com/hl.html

I see GDO's of various manufacture posted on one of
more of those resources every few months, often in the
$15. - $45. range.

You may choose to post your interest in the Millen or
the Heath and see who replies with one they have in
the attic or garage and would love to see someone get
good use of.

There is a neat GDO site here:
