Heathkit HW-16 Re-kit (almost).

Описание к видео Heathkit HW-16 Re-kit (almost).

I had a chance to piece a couple of junk rigs together and sort of re-kit a HW-16. I replaced every single resistor and electrolytic capacitor, and cleaned most of the rust and replaced most of the hardware - especially rusty lockwashers under terminal strips. One minor correction to the video, on 15 meters the dial is 20 KHz off, not 30 KHz - due to a bad hetrodyne oscillator crystal.

This was my first real radio as a novice, 50 years ago in 1973. I've got far superior cw rigs today, but it will be fun to use this once in awhile.

Yeah, so maybe I went a little overboard with this one. But, I plan on keeping it and using it.
