[Heathkit] IM-17 Question

[Dennis Berry]

Thanks for the reply Mike.  Others said the same thing actually.  I don't
know what was special about the 8.4v mercury's back then.  Maybe it just
lasted longer?

I've attached a partial manual someone sent me in response.  Keep it or toss
it as you see fit.

Thanks again for the response though Mike.  Looks like this will be a handy
addition to the shack.  Digital's are nice, but sometimes a good ole analog
is handy.

Dennis
