This listing is for a Heathkit SB-101 HF Ham Shortwave Radio Transceiver. This vacuum tube transceiver covers all pre-WARC 79 amateur bands in SSB and CW. You can tell from the riveted-into-place PC boards that this radio was Factory Built. The build quality is exceptional. Looking at the closeup of the RF drive board, you will see very little board dirt and no discoloration. This radio was not used very much. Cosmetically it is far above average with some nicks on the case but the paint is too nice to demand a repaint or overspray. You might be able to see in one of the photos that the VFO dial has a crack. I have a spare and will include it with the sale. If the selling price goes to the point at which I deem it worth my time, I will even install it for you. I already have a lot of time into it as you will see. I did need to do some work on it. Mostly the need for work resulted from lack of use. 1) I disassembled, cleaned, polished the shaft bushings on the Mode switch.2) I disassembled, cleaned, polished the shaft bushings on the Frequency Control switch.3) I replaced the Plate Tuning capacitor.4) I replaced the Plate Load capacitor.5) I cleaned switches and potentiometers.6) I removed the brass commutating contacts on the Preselector variable capacitors and polished them.7) I replaced the rubber O ring belts on the Load capacitor and Preselector capacitors.8) I cleaned tube sockets.9) I tested the tubes. This radio has a strong receiver and the transmitter produces 100+ watts output on all bands. It is 100% guaranteed to be as described. I am happy to answer your questions to the best of my ability.

On May-16-23 at 18:10:36 PDT, seller added the following information: Someone seems to have misinterpreted the title Heathkit SB-101 HF Ham Shortwave Radio Transceiver - Factory Built, Serviced to mean it was factory serviced. Sorry but a comma does not mean and. When space is limited, a comma is simply a separator. It is Factory Built and serviced by me. Clearly my description says that I did the servicing, not the factory. Sorry for the confusion a simple comma may have caused.
