[Boatanchors] Lafayette HA-700 inquiry

[manualman at juno.com]

Made by Trio for Lafayette. Has 6 tubes. General coverage. Sold new for
$89.95 in 1967. In the end of their life cycle, which was less then 2
years, we dumped them for about $70. Has a product detector/BFO tube but
stability and drift were a problem. Single conversion. Higher bands
require a preamp to hear anything. I can think of better things to do
with $50, but that's your call.
