Buying notes
Heathkit AM/FM receiver kit. Build quality varies with the original builder; inspect all solder joints; poor joints are the main failure mode on kit equipment. Tube complement condition. Check that the tuner locks onto stations and both channels produce clean output. An unbuilt kit in original packaging commands a large premium.
