Heathkit, it's me, Cathy come home?

A Fox hunt is a direction finding exercise as if the hunted was a Fox..
Well .. sort of...
They always were grossly over-priced this side of the pond. Whether there were too many middlemen or just greedy retailers, I don't know.

For the nostalgia:
There's a 1976 catalogue there.
Alarm clock (earlier than the one I made) £45 in 8% VAT - that's about £274 according to the BoE inflation calculator. Blimey...
But I am a little suspcious of that as according to the same, £100 in 2003 is £133 in 2012. But I'm damn sure food and fuel have inflated more than that in the last few years alone.
Never built a Heathkit kit, but I think the RS LED clock modue was somewhere around 20 quid. By the time it was in a vero two tone grey case with a transformer, switches and speaker (for the buzzer) I reckon I'd 'spent' close to
45 quid - no dodgy fake teak on mine though :)Could have been a couple of years later than '76 though.
