Jeez, Don. All I ever "built" was a Heathkit.



At one time Heathkit offered a lineup of Guitar Amp kits, top of the line was a solid state twintwelve equivalent.

A Heathkit Fuzzbox and for a while, a Heathkit Vox wah-wah pedal were also offered. The Fuzzbox was in Heath crinkle green, but, perhaps in an example of scattered showers of design wisdom, they mercifully left the Vox wah pedal in crinkle black. The pedal top's "rubberoid" panel did say Heath-by-Vox on it instead of Vox, though.

And, they did another first in offering the Vox "Jaguar" combo organ as a Heathkit, as well. Today, those are collector items.

Never had any of their musical instrument stuff, but certainly had Heath in the hamshack. The introduction of the HW-100 transceiver with the PTO in it and the look and feel made the "Hot Water 100" as it was often called onair, also known as The Poor Man's Collins. And, indeed, operationally, once you got the bugs of being self-assembled and calibrated out of it, it was.
