That's a cool looking kit. Now I'm tempted to order one. I build tube hifi in my free time. Was supposed to be a business endeavor but I've kept 90% of my builds for myself so far.
I'll be firing up my Hammarlund HQ-180 this evening. Fully restored and aligned, these perform quite well for an antique. You have to be accustomed to twiddling knobs to use one properly. I think a lot wind up dumpstered or Ebay'd due to lack of operator knowledge on antenna design and such.
It is a cool night here and pretty humid. Just feels like a radio night.
