[Boatanchors] Heathkit HA-14 HP-14 and HP-24 info

[butwheat]

Hello all again,

I did ty-rap a cupla micro fans to the backside of this because I just
couldn't trust thermal convection. They are very quiet and the ty-raps
will allow me to return to original snip-snip.

I'm glad some others are enjoying a unique idea from 'back then'.

The previous owner (now SK) had been using it with an IC-706.  I have it paired up with the Heathkit HR-20/HX-20 mobile twins (but not mobile!).  It might be possible to fit them all in the pickup but definitely not in the CTS.

Apparently the DC supply was pretty problematic (according to user reports/complaints) but the AC supply seems to be reliable.
