[Boatanchors] HRO product detector

I'd imagine the National NC-183D version (if there is one) is identical to 
the HRO-60 version.  I got a Product Detector built for an NC-183D I owned 
for a while and it worked pretty well.  It used a 6BE6 tube.  I got rid of 
the NC-183D primarily because the "converter" stage "pulled" in frequency 
and this was very annoying at time on the higher bands especially.  Think it 
was a serious design flaw that they didn't provide a seperate oscillator 
stage for the NC-183D!

73,
