I have a DX-100 which I use right now, over 50 years old and works great. Didn't make it though, someone long ago did, I actually contacted the second owner who left his call sign in a letter he had written to Heath Kit in 1961, was surprised as hell that his old transmitter was still on the air.

I just figured out mine was Lafayette KT-320 http://www.antiqueradiomuseum.org/swlreceivers.htm In 1964, it was pretty cool.

Still looks pretty cool, I remember Lafayette. Here's a DX-100:

I used to drool over equipment like that, at least until I discovered cars and girls. My entry into Ham radio got curtailed by college and I let a Novice ticket expire. It was many later that I went back and got a Technician's license. My only transmitter back then was homebrew, right out of the ARRL Handbook (1961 Edition). A 6AG7 and an 807 if I recall correctly. The power transformer came from an old TV. I still have the ARRL manual, but the transmitter is in some landfill.
