My wife went to a garage sale and found some old Heath ham radio stuff.
The proceeds from the sale are to go to a child day care facility.  They
had no idea how much to ask for it so she brought it all home to me...It is
in pretty rough shape -- like it was stored on a shelf in a garage....but
if you're a boat anchor collector or Heath collector you might find some of
it useful for parts or some of it can be cleaned up...I have no idea if any
of it works...likely some of it does NOT work...

Heath SB-104A...very dusty and dirty...missing some screws...cabinet
scratched and dirty...(I wouldn't bet that this works although the lady
told my wife that the guy who had it used it right up until his death.)
Also has the HP-1144 power supply with it which on the outside looks "ok".

Heath DX-60...somewhat cleaner than the 104A but certainly not
"pristine"...dusty and missing the bandswitch knob...has an old Texas
Crystals crystal plugged in the back (7178 khz).

2   -  Heathkit electronic keyers -- one needs clean-up but I think could
be made to be presentable...the other one looks fairly new with a nice
cabinet and is in pretty good shape.  It evidently works because I plugged
it in and sent code with it...(but didn't try to key anything)  They are
both model HD-1410 keyers.

There is an old RPC-3 audio speech processor that is in really rough
condition that may be worth a dollar or two but it is rough...

There is also an old Navy "beam filter"...looks like you plug headphones
into it and then the filter into the radio...Markings on the front are for
a 3 position switch which read "Range", "Phone", "Both"....Seems like I
might have had one of these "black boxes" back about 40 years ago...hi
hi...It's old but looks to be in pretty good shape  (not sure how you could
hurt it unless you ran over it with a tank...)

Any offers for these rare artifacts?  Buyer pays all shipping costs...I'll
pack them but you pay shipping...73 de Greg-N4CC
