[SMCARA] For Sale - Heathkit SB201 Linear (non-working)

[Tom Shelton]

Hi All...

Before Christmas I picked up a Heathkit SB201 Linear Amp - It had been stored in a relatively dry, but non-temperature controlled environment (outside storage shed) for at least 5 years.  It has some condition issues, but it appears that the transformer still works - All the tubes light up, but the one time I tried to put it on the air, I heard a loud POP and some magic blue smoke excaped - I suspect one of the caps blew up, but I haven't been able to figure out which one.  

I've never used more than 100 watts and don't really see a need for this in my shack, so rather than have it repaired and try to sell it on e-bay (with all the hassle that entails) - I'd prefer to offer it to you guys first.  I'm thinking that $50 is a fair price - if you're handier than I am, you can fix it up yourself, or you can send it out for repair at a cost of around $115 + parts + shipping.  

So - first $50 gets it...
