Hello all,

I have a HW-7 that I recently acquired on a whim - it's been HEAVILY
modified - RIT, CW filter, new front end on a home-built board, new
power connector (yucky one), and other little mods and extra parts inside
all over the place! And - you guessed it - it's stone cold dead. Any
thoughts I where to begin trouble shooting such a wreck? Or is it worth
even trying, given that most of the mods are on homemade boards with
no documentation - no idea if they ever even worked. I've thought about
just selling it again or ripping out everything and turning the case into
a
home built receiver of another design or housing an SST-20 xcvr in it.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave WB7AWK

You may wish to correspond with Mike Bryce, WB8VGE

He may have some ideas. too bad no one has offered new PC boards (FR-4
fiberglass and silk-screen for these old beasts - you could then rebuild
with new components and salvage specific parts (tuned transformers) from the
originals.
