Introduction to the Group

[Daniel T Ruth]

Hello All,
   Just found out about this group from Shane Brady (the "Heath" guy who
appeared on the front cover of 73 magazine a few months back).  Thought I
would start off with an introduction of my station.
  As my Email address indicates, I have an affinity for Heaths.  I run a
complete 1970s vintage "SB" station 102/200/600/610/620/630/650.  I'm in
the process of acquiring a SB-640 VFO! (broken, oh well).   Also have a
HR10B receiver, SA-2060 tuner, HO-5404 Scope/Scanalyzer, DX-40, 2 HW-12s,
1 HW-12a, HW-32 (not working), MT-1 (Cheyenne), HR-10B and a supposedly
valuable CR-1 crystal receiver.  Also a Hammerlund HQ-100A and 2 Brown
Brother keys (a single key and a paddle/key combo).

    Things I am looking for:
1) a nice SB-102 dial (with the spiraled grooved channel that the guide
pin travels in to indicate 100 kHz indicator.  This dial is the same (I
believe) on any "SB" rig (i.e. SB-100 / 101 / 400 / 401 / 303, etc.).
Does anyone out there have a "terminally ill" rig that can be used for
parts??

2) any early 60s catalogs.  My collection starts in the late 50s and
continues on from the late 60s to present, but I'm missing anything from
early 60s (1960 / 1961 / 1962 / 1963 / 1964).

Tried to acquire the list of this group, but the listserver told me I
didn't have the privileges to do that.  (I thought I read in the intro to
this list that it WAS possible to obtain the list?? and that if I didn't
want to be known, I could conceal myself).

Hope to hear from somebody . . .
