[Heathkit] HW-101 unbuilt kit

[Tom Chesek]

Then I guess you still miss the point.  Your original comment was "Build it 
and you have a $150 radio." which implies that the only value to the process 
is the resale value of the radio after building it and I was stating that 
there is more value to the process than that.

Then you would seem to agree that everything has it price/value, even the 
pleasure of building a kit.
