Good morning Scott, There have been 3 Eddystone dials on ebay  within the 
last few months.They have gone in $125/135 range, with plenty of  bids. I 
need coil forms and crystals for mine.Did pickup one cap for the coils  this 
week but seem to be rare.

While I am a proud owner of an HBR-16 and an HBR-13,  both were built by 
someone else.  I've always wanted to build my own  receiver and the HBR will 
be a dandy one.  After building my own I'm  planning on moving  the  prebuilt 
ones on to others .   



I'm pondering over which HBR version to build since there are  so many to 
choose from.  I think both of my prebuilt HBRs, the 16 and 13,  are good 
performers.  I've looked over the info on the 16 and 13 on   Kees site  and both 
seem to be a great choice.  While I think  the 16 was the first HBR,  it 
appears to  holds its own against the  13.  If you were building an HBR today, 
which version would you favor and  why?  



Does anyone have a collection of HBR parts  that they never got around to 
building that they would consider selling?   Once I figure out the version to 
run with,  I'm going to have to create a  spread sheet of parts and simply 
start hunting them down.  Any leads  on the more critical parts like the IF 
coils, BFO coil, main tuning capacitor,  Eddystone dial or National dial,  
would be appreciated.   



Thanks for your insight.
