[Heathkit] Looking for a HW-16

[Jeramy Ross]

Good evening all,

I am looking for a HW-16.  I am too young to have been around when
Heathkit was in it's prime, but I love tube type gear and am looking
to pick up the Heathkit rig that has always caught my eye since I was
a young ham... even if that was back in 1993 and I saw it on the shelf
of one of my elmer's shacks.    I have recently begun recovery from a
lengthy illness that seems to have hit my CW abilities in a very
negative way.  So I figured I would start off getting back into the
swing of things by trying to find that rig that I've always wanted to
use, the HW-16, and start off getting back into CW as quite a few
lucky novices did by buying and building their HW-16.  No, I am not
looking for one of those wonderfully rare, un-built, still in the box
kits.  Nor am I looking for someone's fully restored, shelf sitting
collectible.  I am looking for a HW-16 that has been un-molested, that
needs a good home, and would love to come home to my appreciative
shack where it will be cared for, cleaned up, restored and put back on
the air to be enjoyed for a long, long time.   Anyone have one sitting
off to the side of their shack being neglected?   Let me know!

Thanks and 73,
Jeramy W5XTL
