They would be transistorized and not the same, I started to dream about Heath
way back in the 50s when I was a young man in Chile, I used to but the CQ
magazine when I could afford it at the Carrera Hotel (now the Hilton) wishing
that someday I would own one. Well now I have a collection of more than 100
and love them all, I have restored them and for most of them aquired the
original manuals, just looking at the entire collection, makes me think at
those days that the only thing that I could have was a crystal transmiter
with a 6l6 for the final on 40 Meters built with instructions from a CQ Mag.
and my night table radioas a receiver with a short wave that was less than
1/2 inch wide on the 40 meter band, and talking with the Argentineans (LU's)
across the Andes and dreaming of those wonderful Heathkits.......well now I
have them and cherish them.
