[Heathkit] HW-101 unbuilt kit

[Tom Chesek]

Bill,

How much would you pay for the pleasure of building a kit?  How much would 
you pay for your vacation?   The answers varies with circumstances.  I've 
passed up opportunities for items because I felt that they were too 
expensive at the time and then bought that same item later on for a similar 
price.  The whole point of my comment was that the $1600 price paid is 
within a reasonable range, IMO, for a nice complete unbuilt Heathkit HW-101 
transceiver.  Assuming part values are checked/replaced (caps/resistors) as 
necessary during the build you would have a brand new radio.  The HW-101 can 
still provide a lot of hamming enjoyment including the forever satisfaction 
of having assembled it yourself.  Looking at your bio on QRZ I know that you 
understand.
