So I saw his ad for a Heath SB-1000 amp and replied to it. I was number three on the list. I guess the other two backed out.
Mike's communication was top notch. E-Mails kept coming letting me know what the status was and when we got the price fixed, I mailed it off - New Hampshire to Washington (state).
He got the money, and sent the package off by Post Office Priority Mail on Monday. It was here on Wednesday! Documentation came on Friday.
Now, I'd been doing my homework on this amp and knew about the glitch resistor, the filament dropping resistors, replacing the parasitic suppressor, soft start, etc and had started making my list of needed parts. Held off on ordering until I could see what was going to be needed. Well, not only did it come with everything in there already, but his documentation on those changes were complete and fully CAD drawn. First rate and first class.
Couldn't ask for more. Now I have finally completed something I set out to do 20 years ago when I bought my HW-5400 and put all it's many pieces together. I now have that complete HW-5400 station (with the Keypad and CW filter installed), the HWA-5400-1 Power Supply, HO-5404 Station Monitor (with Pan Adapter installed), the HO-1418 Audio Filter, HD-1986 Microlizer, HD-1515 Phone Patch, HK-232 TNC and SA-2060A Tuner (only the HD-1515, HD-1986 and the SB-1000 were 2nd hand).
So, If you see a listing from Mike (James) Curren - W7HY, don't hesitate.
