He requested:
Quote - Could you recommend to me a Model of Heathkit which---
Transmits both CW and AM and has a VFO built in?

Didn't mention anything about greatest "quality" but, with some minor
audio mods, the Marauder be made to sound great on AM and SSB.
It's a great all around transmitter for AM/CW/SSB.
It also looks great too, http://eshop1.chem.buffalo.edu/hx-10.html
