[Boatanchors] DX-35 (selling or parting out)

[Brian Harris]

I have a Heathkit DX-35 that is excess to my needs.  I will sell it or part it 
out depending on the response I get from this post.

This transmitter has been modified significantly.  There is a non-original power  
transformer mounted above the chassis and there are two large oil filled 
capacitors in place of the normal  electrolytics.  Both the audio tubes and 
sockets have been removed and  the tube rectifier has been replaced with solid 
state diodes that are mounted on a pc board under the chassis.

The new power supply provides somewhere around 435-450 VDC.  It puts out about 
about 22 Watts on 40 meters with 120 mA of plate current (I have not checked the 
meter accuracy).  40 meters is the only band I tested it on.  


The cabinet is straight but needs painting.  Someone added a fuse holder on the 
rear apron of the chassis which required some trimming of the back of the 
cabinet for clearance.  


The front panel is in good shape except for a small hole (#6 or 8) in the top 
right corner under the word Heathkit.  A toggle switch for turning the plate 
voltage on has been added to the left of the pilot lamp.

The meter is in good condition and not noisy.

I'll take $30 for it as is or I'll part it out if there are enough requests for 
parts.

Pictures available on request.
