Description

Heathkit SB-200 HF Linear Amplifier in Collector Quality Condition.

 I tested this amplifier on the air and it works great with 600 watt output (CW) on 80 and 40 meters. 

Overview & Technical Summary
The Heathkit SB-200 is a legendary, self-contained tabletop amateur radio linear amplifier produced from 1964 to 1978. It remains highly sought after by vintage gear enthusiasts for its rugged, compact design and straightforward serviceability.
  • Frequency Coverage: Covers the 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10-meter amateur bands (non-WARC).
  • Tube Complement: Powered by a pair of 572B triode tubes configured in grounded-grid.
  • Power Output: Rated for approximately 1,200W PEP SSB input and 1,000W CW input.  delivering 600 watts of full output on 80 meters meets the optimal, healthy performance standard expected of this classic design on a standard 120V alternating current (VAC) line.

       This one comes equipped with a NOS, premium matched pair of Taylor 572B tubes that have excellent emission. On the bench, this unit delivers a rock-solid 600 watts of full output on 80 meters under standard drive conditions. The front panel & Cabinet is immaculate with no marks or scratches, the chassis is clean, and the multi-function meter works perfectly.  It has the original power cord which is also like new.

  I am selling this Vintage amplifier as is, as described, and no returns. Everything including the Electrolytic capacitors are original.

It is always prudent to install a new capacitor kit which are available, before the originals fail.

  I will include a nice copy of the manual,
