[Heathkit] Unbuilt Heathkits

[rbethman]

All,

First thing you consider is *IF* you open it, the value is gone.

Second thing is *if* you build it, the first thing is to procure all 
*new* electrolytic/paper capacitors.

Then decide if it *was* worth what you paid for it.

I'd much rather pick up a used old HRO-50-T1 and recap it, align it, 
replace all the out of spec resistors, and hear what the Heathkit never 
did hear.

Do I hate Heathkit?  Absolutely not!

I've had Mohawks, Apaches, DX-60, the Iambic Keyer, and an SB-102 with 
all its pieces.

Already been there and have done it.

YMMV
