[GreenKeys] Flesher TU300 to TU470 question

[kn7sfz]

Hi Jim,

You may already be aware but Heathkit put out the TU470 as the HD-3030.  
There are a couple on EBay right now for about $60.

I have a couple of the TU170s and I think they're just down right 
attractive, watching that back lit needle bounce around.
