[Boatanchors] Transceivers, Tubes, SWR Bridge, and more FS

Tue Aug 4 15:16:41 EDT 2015

I'm looking for a Heathkit HW-104 transceiver. Power supply and matching speaker are not necessarily needed.

Anyone who may have one collecting dust or know of a fellow Amateur who has one not being used please contact me via direct reply.

Thanks to all who respond!

Respectfully,

Phillip W4RTX
