I believe Heath made various interconnects: for example, with the
SB-104A and its HP-1144 power supply, the interconnecting cable
was not detachable from the PS, and plugged into the transceiver
with a connector that is not now readily available. The problem
with buying and selling is the connectors on the cable ends - it's
getting hard to find some of the old-types, so if a person wants
to buy or sell a Heathkit, that should be taken into consideration;
otherwise, some not-so-simple rewiring, RF shielding, and time-
consuming scrounging for adaptable parts may be necessary.

Another thing to consider: some models had "Accessory" sockets on
the rear panel which required a matching plug to be inserted even
though there were no connections to external devices.
