Gary,
I remember (years ago) going into the Heathkit stores, and wondering why a 
"kit" would in so many cases, cost more than the assembled product. Heathkit 
wasn't cheap, yet some of their "Ham" stuff was decent. I never had the 
interest in assembling (or the interest in trying). Lafayette, (where I got my 
first SW receiver...Starfire VI also had lot's of fun toys...Do you recall in 
the late 60's/early 70's the CB radio's they'd sell you w/o the microphone 
since you needed to be  licensed to use one ?  I wasn't yet 18, and back than 
CB radio's, and talkies (over 100MW) were taboo.  SO of course we used to get 
on channel 9...and threaten "React"...hehe.
