900v I think. So I will consult more informed hams before I touch anything. He said tubes all test nos. But would not load up? He was using cw. I will order the manual when the back brace is removed, that thing is a tank. This thing is mint condition. Real pretty

I had the Heath DX-100B, which was every bit as bulky but was upgraded a bit to be more stable and had a slightly heavier power supply IIRC. I didn't build it though. Bought it from my High School electronics teacher. If HE built it, it was built to his standrds. It worked perfectly; both as a transmitter AND as a weight-training aid!
