T going to win any beauty contests. The faceplate actually doesn’t look too terrible. However, the cabinet has two holes drilled into the top. If you look at the rear of the cabinet, it is badly corroded, as is the bottom cover. The interior is also pretty dirty. This one will make a great parts unit or something to bring back to life after years or storage! After nearly eight years in business, we’ve made the decision to no longer test vintage equipment that’s been sitting idle for long periods of time. I apologize for this, but we’ve simply encountered too many problems. But that doesn’t necessarily mean this is a junker!

This old Heathkit station monitor is pretty dirty as a result of years in storage. The good news is that despite the dust, it’s straight with no damage. With some time and effort it should clean up well. I haven’t taken it out of the cabinet, but I see no obvious signs of modification. This will make a decent restoration candidate, or a great parts unit!
