Hello Bob et all,
I am one of the recent DX-60 rebuilders. :-)
If a group is made, I'll sign up.

I have put together the following Novice station:
DX-60A
HG-10B
HR-10B
Hallicrafters SX-99
D-104 Silver Eagle amplified mic.
Lionel J-38 hand key.

The DX-60A was re-capped and brought back from the dead. (lots of issues)
The HG-10B was re-tubed.
I'm waiting on a re-cap kit from Hayseed Hamfest for the HR-10B, I have re-tubed it.

I'm on either 40M CW or 80M AM most nights.

Dan, N8IE
