    Description

    This is a fully-functioning vintage CW transmitter.
    It is rated at 50 watts input, and about 30 watts output. I have replaced the electrolytic capacitors, and in testing on 40 meters it put out 30 watts per my Palstar meter.
    It works on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters.
    In good shape-no modifications, all original parts except the caps I replaced. It still has the original 2-wire power cord, which should be retrofitted with a grounded 3-wire one.
    Requires crystals or a separate VFO. Not included.
    Included is a photocopy of the assembly/operation manual, and a couple of internet items regarding the DX-20.
    A great way to relive the 1960's and real ham radio operation!
    I will remove the tubes and pack them carefully since they are so fragile.
    No return accepted.
