Hi All;
Anyone up to a restore/Clean-up project?
This HW-16 was unloved for not used in many years.
I did dust/clean it out & brought it up on a variac.
It does receive & put out power, 15 watts on 80, 40 watts on 40 and about 25 
watts on 15.
The wiring is decent and I did'nt notice any old burn't areas, a few 
replacement minor parts like resistors. Maybe they are mods, dunno?
Things to do, if you want:
Replaced a cracked but glued knob.
Replace most cabinet screws.
Replace chipped out ft-243 xtal socket or not, still works.
Unbend cabinet on side, maybe repaint is you want.
Has a few rust spot on chassis top, neutrelize them?
Alignment?
All in all, not that bad & can be made to look much better.
At least it works and you can go right on the air:-)
Price is $60 + ups(the closer the cheeper).
