Posted by Eric on 4/1/2005, 11:38 am, in reply to "looking for a radio from 1968" Your story about the Heathkit that your friend used to own sounds like one of either a series of small transceivers (transmitter and receiver in one box) or one of their shortwave radio receivers. I suspect the former. If I am correct, the radio is commonly referred to as a "Benton Harbor Lunchbox" because the Heath Company was located in Benton Harbor, MI, and it was the size and shape of a typical school lunchbox. There were four models, depending on the frequency it operated on. For your purposes, almost any of them will do. Double-check among some of the Ham Radio clubs in your area and one will probably turn up pretty soon. Good luck; this is a nice tribute you are preparing. Regards,
