[Heathkit] Heath HX 20 available?

[John King]

I owned a Heath HX 20 transmitter once that my wife, Barbara, K5MOL, and I put together from a kit. The main problem I had was with the VOX which used a 6EA8 tube and heat affecting the time constants of the RC combination that timed its sensitivity and hang time. Also had problems with carrier nulling circuit until I changed the null pot and the stock diodes that came with it.

I am considering replicating my SSB station from those days and acquiring an HX 20 to go with my recently acquired Drake 2B, which is the setup that I had back in the early sixties.

If you have an HX 20 you might be interested in selling, please email me directly and describe its' cosmetic and electrical/mechanical condition. thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
