I was one of the last engineering managers for the ham radio dept  
from 85-90 at Heath. Never seen the spagetti, I did hear the same  
story that Glen did. There was also stories of the acid core solder  
jobs and the 250 watt American Beauty assembled units.

It was a great place to work and I was very sad to see it go down the  
tubes.
