[Boatanchors] [Heathkit] Heathkit HX 20 mobile SSB transmitter

[bill riches]

Yes:

The HR20 was a cool receiver.  I used one when I was in the Air Force in
Athens Greece 1962-1964.  Was quite stable and had good audio.  The
transmitter was an HX-10 Marauder.

Hi:

I picked up a decent HX 20 mobile SSB  transmitter at the Carey NC hamfest
last weekend.  Would like to put it on the air and have a power supply to
run it with.
My question to the group is: Is this transmitter clean and stable enough to
get on the air and make QSO's?  I had another one years ago and fired up
everything except the 6146 PA.  The rig seemed to run ok but generated alot
of heat for it's size and tube count.
Is the Heathkit mobile SSB receiver worth chasing down to mate with the HX
20?
The receiver set aside for the project is a Heath HR 1680.
Thanks
