$150?  Really.  I might start bidding against you.

Seriously though, a 6 meter conversion seems that's a good use of a 
SB-200 with a bad bandswitch.

I've been looking at cannibalizing an SB-401.  An SB-401 has everything 
in it to make a 180 watt QRP amplifier.  The scavenged LMO, extra knobs, 
SSB filter, tubes, and circuit boards might bring in extra cash too.

I probably won't do it, too many projects here but it's a thought.
