Found a Sixer at a little swap here in Georgia a couple
weeks ago. Clean, well built with only the only mods
being speaker and micropnone RCA jacks added to the
rear panel. Not really what I normally look for, but
the price was right.

Needed its tube pins DeOxited, and the lead to the
added microphone jack was picking up hum from the
AC wiring to the on/off switch. 2W Watts out and
it hears a 1 uV input, but really needs around 5 for
clean copy. The electrolytics are even still good, but
I'm going to replace them for good measure.

Only missing parts are the plastic handle, and
the original Heath microphone. I've cobbled
up an adapter to use a 350C, but would like
to find an original.

Any parts units out there?
