I have two Heathkit TX-1 Transmitters and one SB-10 Single Side Band Adapter for restoration, and a functioning HR-10B Receiver.
The HR-10B Receiver is in good condition and was functioning the last time it was powered up a couple years ago. The TX-1's and the SB-10 were received from an estate recently in neglected condition and I hated to see them head to the landfill; the TX-1's appear to be complete, except for tubes and cabinets (still trying to locate the original cabinets), one is missing a mic connector, and the SB-10 appears complete except the knobs are missing and a tube is broken (12AT7). The frequency display cylinders of both TX-1's are cracked, one is functioning and the other's band-changing cord is broken but may be useable.
I have no experience restoring Heathkit equipment but feel the transmitters, and the SB-10, would make an excellent restoration project; the possibility exists that both TX-1's could be brought to life. As an aside, the meter pointers on the TX-1's and the SB-10 move freely but I cannot guarantee they function; the reason I mention this is I have seen others searching for working meters for vintage equipment in the past. As a matter of fact I am looking for a functioning meter for a Heathkit CM-1 Capacity meter myself but have not seen one available.
Feel free to e-mail me if you are interested and we can work out a telephone contact. I prefer not to ship the TX-1's due to the weight involved but can possibly work that out.
