Actually it started out as an add for the Van<:-)), but apparently the 
Heathkit is the driver with the amp using a pair of 3CX3000s.   That 
must be why it has 6 of those big alternators. Alas, he apparently found 
that a pair of 3CX3000s is hardly worth mentioning when in those 
contests.  Apparently there will be some photos of the custom amp soon.

I was more interested in the Heathkit SB230 which is starting to pull in 
the bids. Item# 200489222783. I had a really nice one I picked up on a 
trade and IIRC didn't have more than a couple hundred in it.  But<sigh> 
that was a good 30 years ago.
