Vintage 7 / 2023
This Heathkit Mohican communications receiver was sold from 1961 to 1968 by Heathkit in Benton Harbor, Michigan, USA, and was available both as a kit and as an assembled unit. This pictured radio bears a plaque stating that it came from the Frankfurt branch, which was established in the mid-1960s. It covers 550 kHz to 32 MHz, contains 10 transistors and ceramic filters. Battery and mains operation are possible. The classic design with many chrome-plated knobs is somewhat reminiscent of American road cruisers from that time, as it says in a contemporary advertisement: "Attractive styling! One-piece 2-tone green metal cabinet..." My unit still works well and looks very good.
