For some reason I have been thinking of my first radio receiver kit I built back around 1965, sadly of which I no longer have. I bought it in the local drug store with lawn-mowing money. It was a crystal AM BC receiver that had a 1 transistor audio amplifier. It required a long wire antenna, ground, battery and earphone. It was in a nice little case and constructed on a PC board. Worked fairly well.    I thought it was a Heathkit but am not sure. From what I recall it had an assembly manual like a Heathkit and as best I recall it piqued my interest in Heath radio gear.
Does anyone recall a Heathkit product like this?Byron W5FH
