[HBR] So i'm gonna build an HBR-XX

[bignick at execpc.com]

Hi Bob,

Well I think I read somewhere that Crosby said that the
HBR-11 worked as
well as (or maybe better than?) than the HBR-16.

And, I figured that I'd be lucky if I could locate the components
for a "simple"
HBR let alone the Cadillac version
:-)   I guess I just perceived the HBR-11 to be
a more
manageable project?  I'll find out ..

I did see some
layouts for the HBR-16 online somewhere, probably through that
site
that has all the photographs of various people's HBR receivers.

Best of luck on your Collins 75A-1 restoration project.

What
shape is it in?  Any "before" photographs available?
