[Heathkit] 1960's Era Crystal Radio

[Mark Huffstutter]

Hi Byron,
	    The Heathkit You might be thinking of was My very first radio too, the Heathkit R-110. And, like You,
I very much wish I still had it! I was pretty young, I think My Dad did the soldering for Me. But I distinctly
Remember the magic of hearing a local radio station coming in through the earpiece, I was just amazed!

	The R-110 was one of the short-lived Heathkit Jr. series, I believe it first appeared about 1962, and only 
Lasted a couple years. Really miss mine....

	Attached a manual pdf for 'Ya.

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
