That does like pristine. Wow.
I have one of those sitting here that I have been trying to give away. I no longer have any power supplies. At one time, I got on a Heathkit kick and owned a bunch of Heathkit stuff including a bunch of power supplies. This is the last radio and I have no more power supplies. |

I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled it out of the box as to the condition.

It's a great rig. A friend had one and we used it several times on Field Day. The output network easily loaded a W3DZZ-type trap dipole on 80-15 Meters.

I have one and one for parts. I've made more contacts on it than my Yaesu 857. The Heathkit is easier to use.
The power supply is harder to find. |

That was my first "real" rig. It was fun and instructive to build it and calibrate it, and was very satisfying to make contacts with something you put together yourself.
I sold it loooong ago, but found a good deal on anHW100, speaker, and power supply and restored it. Added a sorta 'hack" version of the missing CW filter to bring it up to 101 status. Plays well with the small box of 6146's I still had laying around. I *enjoy* the manual tuning up procedure, and mildly dislike menu-driven radios to this day because of the satisfaction of seeing that wonderful plate-dip. |

Nice looking rig-
Got my ticket around 2006 and am a big fan of tube rigs. Nice thing about the Heathkits is the original manuals tell you how to put them together- will allow you to keep it running into the future. Like all my boatanchors!' |
