[Heathkit] HW-202 up for grabs

[Jim Shorney]

I've got a working HW-202 with a whopping two repeater freqs in it.
Sensitivity is a little light, even after a tune-up, but it does work now
after I repaired it (a tantalum cap across hard power, what WERE they
thinking?). The builder knew how to solder and follow instructions. 10+ watts
out. With mic and full original manual. The mic is about as dirty as one
would expect a WHITE mic to get - maybe bleach would help? Internal speaker
sounds a little distorted, but that's not surprising for an extreme oval. Not
hacked up or modded, except for a power trace under one of the RCA jacks has
been isolated and re-routed - looked like a good idea to me. Oh, and I
replaced that tantalum with an aluminum elecrolytic. Tantalums don't like
surges from low impedance power sources - this factoid bit Fosgate in the
rear in the early days (before they became Rockford Fosgate).

I know these aren't worth much, but I'm open to swap for other trinkets.
Multiple crystal pairs for Drake TR-22C or Icom IC-215 would be of particular
interest (why couldn't these guys all use the SAME crystal formulae???).
