[Heathkit] Running the HX-10 Marauder outside its cabinet

There was no internal cage for the P.A. on the DX100 nor on the DX100B. What they DID 
have was a vertical metal shield in front of the P.A. but I don't think that was for TVI shielding  
- more for internal feedback avoidance. I suppos ethat it helped to eliminate the nasty self-
oscillation hobgoblins.  I found them unremovable in a Globe King 400 that I once bought 
for $100.00 at a hamfest around 1978-80. Never did get those doggone P-P triode finals to 
behave right. Pity - it was a nice rig. If I had one now I might rebuild the RF deck and keep 
the modulator and power supply as-is.
