[Heathkit] Apache...

[Bill Cromwell]

Heh,

I'm 65 too and sliding it out of the cabinet doesn't do anything at all
except make TWO heavy objects to lift. Mine is down near the floor
pending a sale or trade that didn't happen. The shipping costs are
horrible. I won't be putting the Apache down near the floor any more and
the DX-100 shall remain at desktop level and forevermore both shall just
slide from surface to surface on tables, carts, and workbenches. When
they are not on the air. The Apache works fine RIGHT NOW. The DX-100 is
up for heavy duty TLC. I have reinforced the operating position to take
the weight!

73,

Bill  KU8H
