Title: Heath HG-10B
Post by: WA2ROC on December 06, 2010, 07:40:16 AM
Photos of the HG-10B as I received it.  It was wired by the original owner in 1975 but the dial stringing and alignment was not completed.

I even have the Heathkit box and bill of sale (Master CHARGE)

The coils are "potted" in some sort of epoxy-like material maybe ceramic coating.  I would have to crack the coating off the form and count/measure the wires.

They come pre-assembled from Heathkit, but may be available from other sources, or a "donor" HG-10.unit.
