Wanted Heathkit SB-220 200 uf 450 wf Cap
« on: July 21, 2022, 1134 UTC »
I had put this is the wrong topic Went to the Batavia ham fest this pass weekend and picked up a Heathkit SB 220 2 kw amp for $200. Was missing tubes and had a couple of bad caps *both which I have). Im still looking for a couple of back up caps if any one have them. I'm sure the guy who sold it would be sick to know that this amp is in great shape and after replacing a couple of bad caps and adding the tubes it's doing just what it should.
We plan to do a test soon.
We need another card to shut out the draught HW ABT URS?

My rule of thumb is, "If you're going to be a dick,be a big one."
