My first Heathkit when I was around 12 years old. It was my only Christmas present that year, you had to order by snail mail by sending in a completed order form and check. You then waited for a post card that would be sent with a date the unit would ship and in about two weeks it arrived. Still have the radio after 58 years and it;s almost in pristine condition. Spent many hours listening to shortwave and amateur radio stations. Thanks for the review.
I owned this model as a novice/tecnician class in 1964. WN4SJQ/WA4SJQ. I used it with an Ameco AC1 transmitter for cw. It sold for $19.95 as a kit. I did have the Q- multiplier which greatly helped selectivity. Later I used it with several homebre transmitters.
Thanks for the video. I just got one from a friend and I'm going to see if I can get it up and running. The video was a great introduction to the radio. Very much appreciated! Well done. -Mike W7GR
Jeff tranter your Hathkit General coverage reciver is cool my hobbys are painting pictures and lisining to shortwave and ssb iam thinking about getting my ham license I have 4 shortwave receivers me and my cousin are going to a Swap meet June 5th 2022 Sunday morning at 8 am in Milwaukee
i had one given to me recently in rough shape i am restoring it but i need to rewind the coil for the tuning meter, have loved heathkit stuff for years my grandfather bought there tv test equipment in the 50's that i now own, restored and still use
Great presentation as always Jeff. I find it strange that the gr81 seems to sell at higher prices on eBay than the more expensive counterparts that were in your catalog except maybe for the Mohican.

I built one of these in the 1950s, then later added a Heathkit "Q-Multiplier."
