WTD: Heath Collector to adopt RX1/TX1/AK5

[Ron]

I am looking for a collector who would like to adopt this pair.  Both have
been fully restored and include extras.  The RX-1 has been rebuilt from
scratch using all modern components.  The K6AD mods were incorporated during
the reconstruction.  Frequency stabilization was achieved with a temperature
controlled oven for the front end.  The RX-1, TX-1 and matching speaker (I
think it is the AK5--big ugly one) have all had their cabinets refinished in
the correct color and in epoxy enamel.  Both sets have the chrome knobs and
new dial drums.  The RX-1 works and sounds great on AM.  SSB reception is a
little tricky, but never use it on SSB.  Main tuning knobs on both sets use
the Marauder spinner knob.  The Apache was a total restoration also.  The
chassis was nickel plated before restoration began.  Audio is a matched set
of Svetlana EL-34's. Power supply is all solid state. The clipper/limiter
was bypassed and I chose instead to use the Ten-Tec solid state compressor
which is built into the base of a D-104.  Apache has full PTT.  DowKey
coaxial antenna relay included with the station.  This equipment is
absolutely gorgeous in appearance.  If you want to get into AM with a
classic Heath station these are for you. I will listen to any serious offers
from the group.

Thanks,

Ron, AB5WG
