This was acquired by my sister and i from our late father’s estate. He was a loving father and ham for many years and unfortunately has passed away last year :0. This article was last kept in my dad’s possession. He lived and breathed amateur radio his entire adult life as a hobby and career and obtained the highest level certification and 45 years experience. The extent of testing was plugging the unit into the wall. The panel lights illuminated. My very best guess is that the unit is in working condition but no guarantees. I have received positive feedback concerning the sales of dad’s item over the past several months for peace of mind. Dad labeled the box it was stored in as “sx-76″… Assuming that may be the type tube that is installed? He had been looking at dad’s items that i had listed for sale and since has been reaching out with a helping hand remotely (thanks bob) since i know very little about amateur radio. He suggested that i turn the unit on in cw mode and adjust the sensitivity control to see if the s meter moved. The verdict is that the s meter does move slightly (from 80 to 60). The physical condition is as shown. Please be your own judge. There are visible scratches and light rust in areas. What you see in the photos is exactly what is for sale and exactly what you will receive. The unit weighs 32 lbs + 7.6 oz before packing material. If you have questions, please ask.
