I was able to located an unbuild Star Roamer in the box dated Jan 1969. Essentially the same radio I bought and assembled in June of 1969. When I got the radio I had visions of building the radio like I did 53 years ago but now I’m having second thoughts about it. I’m wondering if I did build the radio I know I would need to buy a few new parts for example the electrolytic in the power supply and I wondered about just building it with all new capacitors and replacing any resistors out of tolerance. I also realize the shortwave world is nothing like it was in 1969. So now I have a kit and I’m wondering if I should just leave it in the box. It’s given me a new perspective on trying to relive the past.
