I built many of Allied's kits including the a crystal set, Ocean Hopper, and
the R-100 Receiver

My first rx was the Knight R-100, which I built myself. Using the latest
tubes, it was a very "hot" receiver, though its mechanical stability (and
overall physical design) were rather flimsy. In fact, most Knight Kits were a
bit less than rugged.

Hethkits, OTOH, were mostly rugged but with some questionable electronic design
features. But not my DX-40, my first rig -- it worked pretty well all the way.
