[Heathkit] SB-200

[Peter Markavage]

QST, Jan. 1969, page 44 has a mod for converting SB-200 to 6 meters.
Power Supply upgrade, soft-key mod, in-rush current upgrade approx cost
is between $100-150 from Harbach Electronics. Condition of tubes should
also be a consideration. SB-200 is a great HF linear. It's a shame to
convert it to 6 meters. Might be cheaper and easier just to go and buy a
6 meter amp.
