Title: Heathkit DX-60A 90% Restored Post by: W9ZSL on October 02, 2010, 02:11:11 AM ;D 8) :o BEAUTIFUL AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
I'm nearing completion of my share of restoration on a DX-60A. I say "my share" because the previous owner replaced at least one filter cap and did some cleaning. I'm finishing with the cleaning part and replaced a really-klubby kludge that replaced the fused plug with a 3-wire abortion. I in turn replaced that with a standard IEC jack. It has an SO-239 output which might have been original. I fired it up with a variac over a day or so and the PS puts out 700 volts solid, no load. Even used it to reform a dozen old electrolytics or so. No sweat. Cabinet has the original paint, has very few wear marks and is the only thing I don't intend to restore. Give it a 9.3 out of 10. I intend to finish the cleaning/testing shortly and am basically trolling for anyone who wants to follow the last of the work and might be willing to buy it. I have a "B" along with the matching VFO and HR-10B in nearly mint condx soon to be on the air (I hope) on 3885 so this is surplus. I won't take less than $285.00 plus shipping. Yes it's that nice. Best offers. Why am I selling? Paint colors don't match the rest of the set! Email me at W9ZSL@yahoo.com if you are interested. Will send pix as I make the final progress and we can talk. 73 Mike W9ZSL Rhinelander, WI |
