F/S/T: HO-10, usual suspects.

[Michael Hopkins]

"Round up the usual suspects," they said in "Casablanca," and, indeed
they are here in this HO-10 station monitor I found in an estate odds and
ends box.

  You suspect the power transformer to be bad, but we'll never know
'cause it's gone.  In fact, so is the case, so we don't have to worry
about how it might have been painted.

  So what is left?  Well, a clean panel with minimal edge wear and all
the knobs.  All the tubes including the 6J11 tone generator and CRT.  A
parts unit, as it were, unless one has a cousin case.  Many HD-10s have a
cobbled outboard p/s according to Penson.

  Big problem is my self imposed minimum of $20.  It is not worth packing
things up for less than that.  Sometimes someone is going by Dallas's
main post office on I-30 during one of the 24 hours it is open and I meet
them, however.  YL's impressed into radio duty love the place as it is
well lighted and crawling with federal cops.  When kids are along I bring
a tame ferret.  Another option is a trade, which shifts the postage
problem to each person and hexes the $20 issue.  I trade for 6M, QRP and
receive converter items often.

  So maybe it can find a home.  I sold out at HamCom and the only other
Heath stuff in the attic is a pair of cheap scopes and several parts of
AT-1s.
