This puppy's been sitting in my garage for several years awaiting my 
attention...............but I simply don't have the time to deal with 
it now.  So here it is:

I applied power to it and the CRT trace came on for a minute but then 
disappeared.  I am thinking that the problem is likely in the HV 
power supply, probably a filter cap.

Cosmetically it is pretty good, especially the front panel.  A former 
owner scratched his callsign into the cabinet on the side.  The case 
could use a repainting if someone wanted to completely restore it.

I am afraid I don't know the IF frequency of this piece.  This was 
determined when it was built and thre were several options, including 
of course, 455 KHz.  Heathkit equipment of the day used another IF 
frequency and I don't recall offhand what it was.

I'll let it go for $50.00 plus shipping.  If interested please reply 
by e-mail to:
