I have a nice little Heath Cheyenne transmitter for auction on eBay.
The URL with pictures is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3078111101 and the text is This auction is for a Heath Heathkit Cheyenne AM/CW transmitter in excellent cosmetic and electrical condition, and a Heath AC power supply and connecting cable. There is a small scratch in the front panel (shown in the second photo) but other than that the panel is pristine and the chassis has very little if any corrosion or discoloration. I didn't build this radio but the person who did was good at it -- a very nice job. The Cheyenne is a mobile AM and CW transmitter manufactured by Heathkit in the late 50s. This small unit measures 12.25"W x 6.25"H x 10"D (less knobs & rear connectors). What makes this radio a pleasure is being self-contained & compact with a seperate power supply using either a 12 volt DC version or the Heathkit Utility power supply. Later power supply models with the 250vdc or 300vdc low B+ selector switch can be used in the 300 vdc output position. The construction is solid with ceramic switches & point to point wiring that does not include the unreliable, subject to heat cycling printed circuit boards used in later Heathkit models. The transmitter has a built-in VFO & a 'spot' switch for aligning the frequencies of transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is a low level, screen modulated type that produces surprisingly great sounding audio- no modulation transformer & associated push-pull tubes required. It features a built-in VFO, controlled carrier modulator, four RF stages, 6146 final amplifier, and pi-network (coaxial) output coupling. A spotting switch is provided to allow tuning the transmitter "off-the-air" and a specially designed ceramic element microphone with push-to-talk switch assures properly shaped audio response for effective modulation with plenty of "punch." Simple conversion to fixed station operation is easily accomplished by using the Heathkit HP-20 AC power supply. Styling of the Cheyenne features a one-piece die-cast front panel with raised meter, tuning dial and control panel escutcheons, and die-cast knobs. Color styled in two-tone gray and gray-green. I also have for auction a nice Hallicrafters SX-62A receiver, and a near-mint TenTec Signalizer CW filter/amplifier. Please check my other auctions. All items close Sunday, February 22, 2004. Thank you. |
