It took me long enough, but the repairs and restorations on the Heathkit HW-101 transceiver, SB-600 speaker, and HP-23 power supply are DONE! I had to make a choice on the colors to use, and there is no perfect choice that balances the desire to adhere to tradition and cost constraints.
I also test it on the air and make a couple of nice 40 meter QSO's.
