Heathkit insanity - the SS-9000

And the synthesized digital VFO for the SB-104 (got one).

And the SB-671 tuner, predecessor to the SA-2040 (ditto).

And the proof-built version of the HR-1680 shown below. That's sitting in my collection as well...

Now, that is impressive.

I think I'll stick with what I have, though... at least for now. Although one of these days, I am going to pick up an SB-301 just for nostalgia's sake (I used one with an HT-37 when I first became very active on HF. My mistake was loaning the receiver to someone... who returned it to me via a 3rd party, and said 3rd party literally tossed it into his trunk and forgot about it for a couple of weeks... lesson learned the hard way on that one... )
