[Heath] Please Post----- FS: Heath DX-60B, HR-10B and HG-10B

[Dick Pettit]

These were in a barn for 40+ years but were mostly protected from 
elements.  That did not, however, leave them in pristine condition. The 
front panels are really nice, the covers are OK and the chassis on the 
TX and RX could use some minor rust removal.

These units were assembled in the 1960s by the person I bought them 
from, but he never actually used them.  I imagine they were put in the 
barn, un-tested and un-aligned, when he lost interest and never got his 
ham license.  Also, the original manuals, sorry to say, are nowhere to 
be found.  I do have reprints that go with each unit.

This does not mean that they are non-functional.

DX-60B Transmitter: I re-capped the HV, MV and bias supplies and it does 
transmit RF.  It will need a modulator tube and maybe a 6CL6 driver.  I 
replaced the band switch because the original was frozen solid.  The 
meter switch is intermittent and could use replacement but the meter 
works and seems to be accurate.  Consider this unit to be partially 
functional but definitely repairable.

HR-10B Receiver: Dial is really nice, all controls operate and it has 
the hard-to-find crystal calibrator.  The dial needed re-stringing and I 
did that.  Power supply has all new HV caps.  It hears signals on all 
bands but 10 meters using a piece of wire in the shack.  It is nearly 
aligned, frequency wise, but will need an RF and IF alignment and maybe 
a tube or two.  Consider it to be repairable also.

HG-10B VFO: Probably the best looking and working of the three. However 
the tuning cap was strung 180 degrees backwards when I got it,and it 
tuned backwards.  Now it'll need a complete re-alignment after I strung 
it correctly.  It has output on all bands, the dial has minute hairline 
cracks at the edges but it rotates when changing bands and the needle 
moves when changing frequency.  One case mounting screw was wrung off.  
The inside chassis looks brand new. The connecting cables to the DX-60B 
work and comes with the unit.

GH-12 mike:  This mike is cream colored and goes with the HW series 
rigs.  No connector, but the PTT switch works and the crystal element 
has output when talked into.  Not perfect but looks nice.

I also have 3 wire power cords in case you wish to replace the original 
Heath 2 wire cords (Do yourself a favor and replace  them!)

I prefer selling all three as a package deal but I will consider selling 
individual units.

I can furnish pictures if you want them.

The price for all three is $225.00 plus shipping from Durham, NC 27713.  
If you buy all three, I'll throw in the mike too.

   Individual units will require reasonable offers.

Of course, pickup at my shack will be welcomed.

Thanks for looking
