Heathkit AJ-29 (1970)

The Heathkit AJ-29 is known almost entirely through the company's own advertising from late 1970. No independent review or bench test in the period collection mentions it. The campaign introduced the AJ-29 as a separate AM/FM/FM-stereo tuner kit, pitched as the tuner section of the then-famous AR-29 stereo receiver, with the same tuning performance at a factory mail-order price of $169.95. High Fidelity (November 1970, p.51) carried the announcement, and the same ad appeared in Audio (November 1970, p.35) and HiFI-Stereo (November 1970, p.49).

That's the whole documented record. It was a tuner, it was sold as the AR-29's tuner section in its own box, and it cost $169.95 in late 1970. Production run dates, full specifications, and measured performance are not documented in the Archive's files.

Known from period advertising:

- AM/FM/FM-stereo tuner kit - "the tuner section of the famous AR-29" receiver

- $169.95 factory mail-order price

- Advertised in High Fidelity, Audio, and HiFI-Stereo, November-December 1970

If you have an AJ-29 manual, schematic, or a later catalog listing, the Archive would welcome the record.
