[FOR SALE]HeathKit HX-10 Marauder HF Transmitter 80-10m 180w Monster!
Hey yall,
I recently acquired a very nice Heathkit HX-10 Marauder HF Transmitter as part of a trade for some repeater gear I had. (still have vhf repeater and duplexers btw) Anyhow, This is the cleanest radio for its age that I've personally come across. on the sides the paint's been knocked off a bit as you'll see in the images but nothing major. I don't have the room for it in the shack otherwise I'd keep it and find a good receiver to go with it, and the wife is yelling at me to get it off the kitchen table!
This radio is what they mean when you hear the guys say Boat Anchor. This beast of a radio weighs a hefty 85 pounds! I've taken 26 pictures and have attached them here or you can go over to my site and view them all at once.
With some minor touch up with the correct color paint this radio is Museum Quality.
I'm asking $375 but I will take less. Make me an offer, but you're paying for the shipping!!! If someone wants the radio enough to meet me halfway I'll willing to take a reasonable distance road trip to get it to you.
