[Heathkit] Re: Chuck Penson's Heathkit book

[krk@ix.netcom.com]

Hi Ed, et al;

In addition to the Ham radio material, Chuck has added non-ham products that
were popular shack accessories - like clocks and weather equipment. About 60 
additional products have been added including an all new section on Heath's CB 
equipment. The book also has a complete tube chart, sales data, a new ER index, 
and a new introduction. The section on collecting has been almost completely 
rewritten, and extensive rewriting has been done elsewhere. The old book had 250 
pages while the new one has 328. There is no test equipment material in this book. 
That may come in a future edition (after Chuck recovers from the labor of doing this 
one <g>).

I'd say this sounds like mandatory reading material.
