Heath HW-101 HF Transceiver, Crystal
filter, Tube tester, cable, and misc. parts
For Sale:
.
Heath HW-101 HF Transceiver
Most of us know this is an 80 thru 10 meter SSB/CW
transceiver. It is vintage, using tubes, with a
pair of 6146's in the final that produces just over
100 Watts.
This one works as it should.
The electrolytic cap in it has been replaced.
Cosmetically, it is MUCH better than most.
Very immaculate, not scratched at all.
Buy it with paper work for $200.
.
Heathkit TC-2 Tube Tester:
The Heath TC-2 seems to be a good, decent tube
tester. It has sockets to test most all types
of tubes.
Since I did not know when it was last used,
I brought it up slow with a Variac. I watched
the input current and it never went over 0.1 amps.
This indicates that all is well with the capacitors.
I used it to test a bunch of tubes, and all
seems well.
Cosmetically it is in extremely nice condition.
First, the tube chart scrolls as it should.
The wood case is very nice. The top is good with
no scratches. The meter lens has a scratch
on it. It is not cracked or broken. Just a scratch
that does not effect operation.
The manual comes with it, in a nice binder.
It would seem that $200 (plus shipping from
Florida) would be a fair price.
.
Power supply cable:
You may need a cable to connect your rig with your
power supply. This is the cable. It has an 11 pin
"octal" plug on one end and a similar socket
on the other end, with hoods, on it. $30
.
Heath Crystal Filters For Sale:
Crystal Filters are $70 each.
Heath 404-283 SSB Crystal Filter
This is the 2100 Hz filter used in the SB-100,
101, and 102 transceivers, and also in the
SB-400/401 transmitters and SB-300/301/303
receivers. It works like it should.
Heath 404-284-1 CW Crystal Filter
This is the 400 Hz filter that is used for narrow
CW and is an optional accessory in the SB line,
and HW line of transceivers, plus in the
SB-300/301/303 receivers.
It works fine.
.
Resistors for Linear Amps For Sale:
Have you replaced the filter caps or do you
have an error in the high voltage reading
in your linear amp?
Most amps used resistors that got too hot for
bleeders/equalizing near the filter caps. I
have some 120 K ohm, 3 watt, 1% resistors
that are really great for bleeder/equalizing
resistors in the capacitor string. 1% equalizes
much better, and the caps will last longer with
less heat.
Many amps used three 4.7 meg resistors
in series to meter high voltage. Almost all
of these resistors are out of tolerance today,
partially because of their age, but also
because their voltage rating was exceeded.
I have 4.7 Meg, 1% tolerance, 2 watt, rated
to handle the high voltage. This compares to
the original resistors furnished by Heath that
were 4.7 Meg, 5%, 1 watt and about 400 volts.
All of the resistors are $1 each, plus shipping,
which is minimal since they can ship in a first
class envelope.
.
Heath HD-15 Phone Patch and also parts For Sale:
The HD-15 is a phone patch that matches the Heath
SB line of equipment.
This one works fine and looks really great.
With paper work for $25, plus shipping from Florida.
.
I also have an assortment of parts from a Heath
HD-15 Phone Patch available.
The top cover and the meter movement are
gone, but most other parts are available,
including the transformers, which can be used
to interface between your rig and computer.
Knobs are also available.
