[Heath] FS:Heathkit DX-40 Transmitter

[Glen Zook]

The original r.f. output connectors on the DX-20, DX-35, and DX-40 were SO-239 UHF connectors, not an RCA.

Another ham was interested in my DX-40 so I the DX-40 on the bench, looked it over and 
  took some more pictures:

Here 
  is a synopsis of what I found:
1.  Dirty and dusty!  Panel 
  straight and lettering good. No extra holes. 
2.  Coax RF output 
  changed to UHF connector. Also holes for another UHF connector.
3.  I 
  think the power transformer has been changed - it looks good but definitely 
  doesn't look original.
4.  Additional AC line filtering was 
  added.  Also noted 'smoke' stain on chassis under ac wiring.
5.  
  Chassis has a slight 'bow' in it - probably from weight of 
  transformer.
6.  RF coupling cap in PA output is now a 'door knob' 
  type.
7.  Case dirty but in good shape.  There is a small cutout 
  in back area.
8.  No door on the crystal access area.

That's 
  it. Take a look at the pictures and, if you are interested, drop me a line. 

Asking Price: $40 plus shipping.

I estimated shipping to Texas would cost about $23 (UPS Ground) - I can give any interested parties an exact quote if they will send me their "SHIP TO" address.

Thanks and 73
