Description
Heathkit SB-100 Transceiver in Good Condition, Untested
This radio is complete with no parts missing.
I am selling it for parts or repair. A Heathkit power supply is needed to operate this transceiver.
The Heathkit SB-100 is the original model in Heathkit’s popular SB-series of HF amateur radio transceivers, introduced around 1965–1968. It is a hybrid tube-type SSB/CW transceiver that set the standard for later models like the SB-101 and SB-102. It offers solid performance for its era and remains popular among vintage ham radio collectors and restorers.
