  • Notes

  • Heathkit AR-13. 43 transistor, 16 diode circuitry for cool, fast economical operation and the quick, natural beauty of “transistor sound” if Compact, yet houses two 20-watt power amplifiers, two separate preamplifiers, and a wide-band AM/ FM/FM Stereo tuner if Tuner automatically switches to stereo. Richly-warm walnut cabinet styled in Heathkit's new low-silhouette design. Easy to build with preassembled, prealigned “frontend” and AM-FM I.F. strip.
