[Heathkit] Looking for Heath Mohawk Articles

[john]

That's a good cite, Pete, but it involves an awful lot of surgery. I've 
never really understood to make an old radio like a new radio (we've all 
got those) and I've never really felt like the RX1s I have don't perform.

Before hacking away at it, I'd use it for awhile, observe how the 
performance varies with gain settings, etc. You might well find that you'll 
use it the way Heath made it.
