[Boatanchors] vacuum tube radio kits

[rbethman]

  I think you could make a case for the HW-12, HW-22, and HW-32 monoband 
series.

The power supply would be easy to incorporate into the chassis, plus it 
would be universal to all of them, and they are easily assembled.

However, I'll echo the earlier post.  "It would have to be a labor of 
love.".  You'll not make anything to speak of.

Today's market is essentially "Appliance Operator" oriented.  Those that 
go after and pursue the Elecraft radios are few and far between.
