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

[Brian Wood]

My 1971 catalog lists the GR-48 at $39.95 and the GR-28 (NEW!) at $24.95. I
would agree that the GR-48 sounds like the unit in question.

Hi Van,

Thanks for the catalog reference for approximate date.  Don't have 
the '74 catalog but my Summer '77 catalog page 5 shows what is likely 
Bob's AM-FM radio without a clock as a GR-48.  No GR-28 or any clock 
version listed so I assume Heath discontinued them before '77.  The 
GR-48 kit is priced at $43.95.  You mentioned the GR-28 was a $41.95 
kit. Heath apparently didn't sell that many. Seems like a lot of 
money for a simple AM-FM or AM set and that was over 20 years ago 
when the dollar was king and the Euro still a dream.
