Question for the experts at Heathkit about not so ancient Heathkit radio

[Richard Post]

 From the description, your radio sounded like my GR-28.  However, the 
GR-28 is AM only.  I assume you have the AM-FM version of that 
series.   The only ID model number on the GR-28 is the sticker on the 
back.  Sounds like yours lost the sticker or never had it applied. 
The GR-28 is a surprisingly sensitive little radio.  Google did not 
find any pix of that set.  Must not be all that common.
