Larry, you may be referring to the Heath Kit DX-60. The DX-60 was the
Novice transmitter during the 60's, xtal controlled, 75 watts etc.
While remembered as a CW rig it did have "AM" capability using
controlled carrier modulation, there was a mike connection on the lower
left hand corner!
It was my Novice rig, and I still have it "somewhere" I used a Heathkit
SB-300 receiver with it and had lots of fun in 1967 as WN4FIO.
