For sale, I need to reduce the amount of
stuff in the shack.

Heathkit HR-20, HX-20 and HP-20 setup.

These are not museum pieces, show use. Front
panels are in good shape, but the cabinets show
extra drilled holes(probably for mobile mounting)
and flaking paint. Chrome knobs are in
good condition.

The HP-20 has been rebuilt with new capacitors,
diodes and resistors.

The transmitter and receiver work, but need work.

Problems found with the HR-20 are poor dial
calibration and it just doesn't sound good. I
think the problem is in and around the product
detector. The circuit is similar to the Mohawk,
but at different frequencies. The filament circuit
regulator(only used on DC) is missing.

The HX-20 works, except that I could not get the
trap for the 40 meter band set right and 10 meter
output is low.

All connectors and cabling. Turner 350C microphone,
but probably not Heathkit, and W7FG manuals.

Just running out of space and time to work on it.

Will also include a Heathkit HM-102 SWR and Wattmeter
found at a local garage sale.

Asking $125 for the entire package, plus shipping
from Central Georgia. Will give preference to
a regional local to avoid shipping costs.

Again, these are being sold as a project, don't
assume these are plug and play.

Any takers?

Thanks for the read,
