[SixClub] Anyone running a Heathkit Seneca VHF-1?

[Steve Katz]

Yeah, I know.  But stuff like the Seneca is a curiosity piece or a
collector's item, not a useful rig today.  AM-CW only, it drifts, it's not
much power, it's heavy, still needs a receiver and a T-R relay to actually
work.  I can run a kilowatt on 2m or 6m AM if there was anyone to actually
talk to, but my last AM contact on VHF was probably 20 years ago.

Don't get carpal tunnel syndrome trying to keep the VFO on frequency...
Don't hurt your back carrying it up stairs...
And let us know if you find anybody on AM to talk to!

Back on topic ... 6M ... anyone running a Heathkit Seneca VHF-1?

I *may* acquire one tomorrow for $50.

Is it fun to operate?

Anything I should look for as costly and/or major repairs?
