I finished building my HBR-13 in 2020.  It is a a really good receiver!  I built my HBR-13 with the Eddystone dial on the left side of the panel, as I had read quite a bit about Ted Crosby and Bill Stewart scratching their heads over a problem of lack of IF regeneration when the RF subclasses was moved to the center of the chassis.  Because of that, I left my RF sub chassis and IF chain on the left side.  There are two photos of it on my QRZ.COM <http://qrz.com/> webpage.  Interestingly enough, I owned two HBR-16’s, and HBR-17, and an HBR-11 before building my own.   I had an article published in QST several years ago on the Ted Crosby and his HBR series.  

It’s good to hear some HBR interest after all these years. I’ll be curious as heck to find out what John W5MO uncovers in the archives.  73, Scott WA9WFA
