Rehab Heathkit MT-1 and RT-1

[Louis Ciotti (KC2RVD)]

Glen,

You are correct, it is an MR-1 and an MT-1.

The Receiver has a broken drum dial... so I amy want to replace that.  Also
the receiver is missing the dial cover, and one of the knobs is not the
original...

I have already rebuilt the power supply from a kit from the heath kit shop,
so I am not moving onto the radios as I get free time...

Thanks,

Lou

By chance do you mean the MR-1 Comanche receiver and the MT-1 Cheyenne
transmitter?  As far as I know Heath did not make an RT-1 and none is listed
in Penson's book.

One thing is that the dial drums have a pretty good chance of being
cracked/broken.  This is VERY common on most of the Heath amateur radio
equipment that used this type of dial.  I do manufacture replacement drums
for many of the Heath equipment.

not wnat to "screw" up.  I guess I am looking at what I should do, and whoat
I shouldn't do.  My main goal is to get these operating like they were new.
