[Heathkit] Re: Heathkit HX-10 "Marauder" and matching Receiver "Mohawk"

Glen -

Agreed!  "Matching" is pretty limiting if you insist on 
_absolute_  equality.   The Drakes "match", and I believe 
the Heath 300/400 series, but I'm hard pressed to come up 
with any others that "match" under that stringent criteria. 
  Almost certainly nothing before 64-65 "matched".

Companion it is!
