Default Your opinion on this Heath Marauder...

I am in the middle of building an unbuilt Marauder.
The circuit is very similar to the newer, smaller SB400,401.
But....the VFO dial arrangement is a nightmare.
I would almost bet that an almost 40 year old transmitter has more than few
problems lingering!

After looking all year, I finally got my Hammarlund HQ-180A, have it set
up and working here in the shack, and it sure works nice for a 50 year old
boat anchor.

Now I'm looking for a transmitter to put with it. I'd really like a Heath
DX-100B because that was my first transmitter back in 1962, but I'd kind
of like SSB capability so I'm looking at a Marauder.

See
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=008

This one has come up for auction with a "buy it now" price of $195 (and a
shipping charge from SC to NH of around $75 grumble).

The cabinet does look a little rough, and the chassis could stand some
cleaning, but the front panel looks OK and if it works as well as the
owner says it does, maybe $270 (including shipping) isn't too bad.

What do you all think?

The marauder is Ok on SSB but its not designed for AM (as is the Drake T4
series). Not many rigs have high level AM and good SSB. I think the Apache
and SB-10 is a better bet as the best rig is the Viking + Viking SSB adapter
which is RARE.
