Oh, please post your answers/tips/suggestions to John on the list.  I am 
looking at a pretty nice DX-100B, with a nice front panel and the UGLIEST 
white, house paint job on the cabinet that I have EVER seen!!!  I will value 
your tips as well.

The last owner is a friend that I trust, and he ran it on 160 and 80M CW, 
and remembers "some problem on 20M".  I think it will fire up fine, but may 
change the electrolytics pretty quickly after it comes out of the case this 
winter.

I picked up a nice Apache and Mohawk while on "vacation" in Colorado, but I 
got to use it in the shack, so am positive it will work.  All these 
heavyweights may make me check out the Harbor Freight "lifts" more closely 
so these 100 pound rigs are easier to handle, hi.
