[Heathkit] SB series cabinet paint

[Dennis Petrich]

Hello Carl, Glen and Kim,

Thanks you all for your help.  You have asked me some good questions about 
its color.  As I remember it in the sun light it looks like a light gray 
with a slight blue cast ( I should have my wife look at it she has a much 
better eye for color than I do)....  I think I'll put it up against my 
SB-610 and SB-620 scopes and see if its the same shade or not....

Well it looks like I have to do some home work before I can get to the 
answer I want so let me go do that and I'll let you-all know what I come up 
with.  I've even thought I should take it in to Sherwin-Williams and have 
them just match the color but I thought I'd try asking the net first....

Kim, I'll see if they have that 62 Studebaker truck color match, that would 
be interesting....

73's for now, Dennis, k0eoo

>> Now you guys are going to love this.  It is actually a 1962 Studebaker
