All this talke about old  Lafayette ham rigs has me yearning for more info. 
Is there a particular site  where I can go to glimpse some of the gear you are 
talking about? 

I had  a 2 chnl Lafayette CB set in the mid-late 60s, that was portable 
(luggable?)  with a shoulder strap. 

The, in college I had a multi-band receiver (not  sure of the model number) 
that I used for general SWL work. Dual slide rule  dials. 

Other than that, I am a little un-informed when it comes to  Lafayett gear.

HR-10 receivers: Got one....nice old Heathkit Novice  receiver and it is in 
primo condition. WHat type of tube preamp were you  refering to to increase 
it's usefullness on 10M?

Rich, get a Copy of Osterman's book "Communications Receivers". I believe  
Universal Radio sells them. If you love receivers as much as me, you will spend  
HOURS looking at the photos and reading the specs.
Plus, it gives you a (somewhat dated) idea what they are worth.
 
If you plan to buy an old Lafayette on ePay, er, eBay, especially one like  
an HE-80, with the large slide rule dial, make sure that the white scale is not 
 peeling of from inside! If so, these are good 'parts radios'....
 
I recently bought a couple of HE-80s and although they needed some cleaning  
up, cap replacement, alignment, and a repaint, they work great and were cheap! 
 This is easy stuff to do.
