[ARC5] Receiver Manual Assistance

[Rich Post]

Currently, this source has the most comprehensive free Heath manual and
schematic collection including much of what was on BAMA.
<http://tubularelectronics.com/Heath_Manual_Collection/>

The copyrights on Heath manuals from 1963 and before have expired.  Before
1-1-1964, copyrights had to be renewed after 25 years.  Heath never renewed
the copyright on any of their kit manuals as easily determined by the
websites of several research university library associations.

Any claims of copyright on 1963 and earlier Heath manuals should be
considered fraudulent unless proven otherwise.  Copyrights on 64 and newer
are still in effect.
