Please read my whole listing. For sale is a rough condition Heathkit SB-101 transceiver. It’s completely as far as I can tell, but please study the pictures and judge for yourself. One good thing I see is a lot of the tubes are vintage IEC Mullards tubes (the value of the tubes alone probably exceed my asking price). The power tubes I believe are GE (at least on the one that I could see). The face plate is dirty as well as the inside, so it needs a good clean up. I did not power this on to test since I do not have the knowledge to fully test this. Due to unknow working condition, please assume this unit will most likely need some work. I do have a couple of other cables that come with this (not pictures). This is a used Heathkit SB-101 in as-described condition. However due to the nature of vintage electronic, and the few fraudulent buyers out there. With no guarantee of its full function when it arrives to you. Vintage electronics contain 20-50 years old parts (belts, rubber parts, caps, etc) that while still work at the time I tested the unit, can fail at any given time. It can be a few weeks, few months, or I have units in my collection that still going strong after 5 years since I acquired them. Service is recommend before long term use for longevity, especially with tube equipment. Due to recent issue with a few buyers abuse the return system. I will no longer accept any return for any reason. I hate to do this but I have to protect myself. I will send you the unit exactly as it appears on the picture here. It will be very well packed (double box is available upon requested) and fully insured. Please check my 100% feedback on safe packing. In small chance it get damaged during transit, please take plenty of pictures and contact me before opening up the package.

This transceiver is dusty/dirty, as you can probably see in the photos. It’s missing a knob, but looks complete otherwise. All controls appear to be turning relatively smoothly. It has the 404-284-1 and 4042-83 filters installed. Also, the rubber pulley-strings have dried up, as is common when these have sat as long as this one has. This’ll make a great restoration piece or parts unit! This equipment came from the estate of a serious ham operator and audiophile, and has been tucked away in a storage unit for approximately 15 years. We’ve made the decision to sell this older equipment 100% as-is and untested. There are a few reasons for this, but it essentially comes down to the fact that they almost always need some level of service and it’s simply not cost effective to pay our technician to spend time going through them. It may or may not need components replaced (caps, resistors, tubes, etc), controls cleaned/lubricated, alignment, and so on. Unless you are qualified and capable of working on this unit yourself, or are willing to pay a qualified individual to do the work for you, we suggest you revisit the idea of whether this is the right equipment for you. This item will be packaged using our InstaPak foam-in-bag system, ensuring the utmost protection! Bags filled with a chemical mixture expand around your item and harden to form a protective, yet forgiving, foam barrier. IMPORTANT : You will only receive what is photographed. If it is not shown in the photos, it is not included in the sale. This includes items such as original packaging, accessories, manuals, and so on. Speaking of manuals, it is strongly recommended that you thoroughly read it before attempting to operate the equipment. If a manual is not included in this sale, you should download one. We’re here to help! We will not declare a lower value on the item’s documentation. The item “Heathkit SB-101 Vintage Tube Ham Radio Transceiver with Filters (untested)” is in sale since Wednesday, March 18, 2020.

Heathkit SB-101 Vintage Ham Radio Tube Transceiver Gorgeous (low audio) SN 94607. This is a very nice looking piece of Heathkit equipment. There’s a few small scuffs on top, but otherwise it looks amazing. Other than some dust, it’s clean inside as well. We’re getting 90-100 watts out, depending on the band, however the receive audio is very low. It could be as simple as a bad tube, but we haven’t taken the time to troubleshoot. Also, the belts are starting to crack and will need to be replaced soon. This will be a very nice piece once it is serviced by a knowledgeable tech!
