[Heathkit] Heathkit X-ACTO Knife Set

[K7VS Van]

I have one.  Or rather my wife has it now upstairs!  I got mine during a
promotion where it and several other items including an alarm clock as I
remember were offered if you purchased something from a particular catolog.
I bought a Heathkit (AEA) PK 232 which Heathkit took about six months to
deliver to me.  That was back in mid eighties sometime.  I would think some
rabid heath collector might give you five bucks for it.  Put it on ebay!!

Van, K7VS
