"I think any re-build that saves a radio is worthwhile". Yes. Yes. Yes.

Nice job there!

Hi George:
One question; where and how did you do the freq readout. I have one I bought to use with the Swan 508 vfo. Do you think it will work. I know the Swan is 5.5 mcs. Tnx Jim, w4ukr

Sweet if you made one to talk on 11 meters ssb I would buy it.. And yes I would pay up to $1000.00....
-
Nice work, very nice work.

Beautifull restoration.

Jim, if the Swan has a 5.5 MHz VFO, it should work fine. You may have to play around with capacitor values. You may also have to experiment with where you tap into the BFO and oscillator to get the other signals. It's not a guaranteed plug and play, but it's definitely possible with a little playing around. If you have a kit from Almost All Digital Electronics, there is info on their website which should help. I reduced capacitor values to the lowest levels which gave good perfirmance.

Inspiring! Question about the power supply - Did that one have the tube rectifier? If so, did you replace it with diodes? I've always wondered if that would be an easy improvement. Would certainly cut down the heat.

This supply had diodes already, but I upgraded them to modern devices. Thanks.

Absolutely beautiful, George. How many hours do you have invested into this project?

Thanks for the comments. I put about 150 hours into it over a couple of years.

Nice Rig! How did you relabel the face plate? Thanks for the video. 73s Charlie...

Hi Charlie and thanks for the comments. The original was in such bad shape, I scraped it down and repainted it, then sent it to a guy in NC who had a silkscreen made for this model. It's identical to the original Heath lettering, except for a couple additions I made for RIT and 14/15 MHz switch.
