For Sale by ORIGINAL OWNER I assembled this March 1971, lightly useduntil 1976HEATHKIT HW-32 TRANSCEIVER, HP-23 PWR SUPPLY with PWR CABLESpeaker, SWR Meter with RU-58 cables, MobileMounting Bracket 3 MANUALS & MICROPHONE
Just add your own antenna fora complete 20 meter sideband ham station. I stopped using this around 1976 andit still worked then. My license expiredMay of 1979 so I put it in a box then and removed it from the box in 2014. Ihave no license or antenna to test this unit.However, I plugged in my old dummy load (100 watt incandescent lightbulb) and it glowed when I talked into microphone. I could hear myself onheadphones connected to an old National Receiver that was in the same roomwithout out antenna when this was on the dummy load. The receiver portion ofthe HW-32A was tested by stringing a 40 foot piece of wire indoors andeverything seems okay on the receiving end. The plastic tuning window edges inside cabinet were curling so I removed this and cut off curled edges that were catching on the screw heads of the frequency dial and carefully reattached so the center line would be in the same location. Tuner now doesn\'t catch on this plastic and no change in exterior appearance.
Never used mobile but the unused Mobile mounting bracket with gimbel knobs is included. Also, an extra socket for another power supply cable was included in the original kit and never used.
There is short RU-58 cable with RCA male connector for Transceiver with standard male cable connector on SWR side, A short cable with standard male connectors on both ends to connect between SWR to the transmatch if you are using one. Otherwise you can plug in the standard connector from your antenna into the SWR since these transceivers used RCA phono plugs for antenna connection. Additionally, a chassis mounted female connector included that I had originally intended to drill out the chassis to replace where the phono plug antenna connection was located. The SWR meter eliminated the need for this change, but I am providing this as well in my package.
I have packaged this all into a box 20\" x 16\" x 13\" that weighs about 38 pounds. The transceiver sits on a Styrofoam cradle with a similar piece of Styrofoam on top. I am offering you the choice of USPS or UPS for shipping since this is a large heavy package due to the weight of the power supply. UPS may be cheaper over longer distances but USPS may be better for shorter distances. The prices of each service for your location should be displayed in this listing. The winning buyer can let me know which shipping service they prefer and I will remove the other and invoice the correct shipping amount.
offerding starts at $265.00 for the whole lot which includes Transceiver with never used mountingbrackets/thumb nuts, AC Power Supply, PTT Microphone, generic speaker inplastic enclosure with RCA plug,. two extra Compactron tubes (didn’t verify if extra tubes are functionalor not), dummy load, complete assembly manuals for transceiver with all pull-out diagrams – complete power supply manual µphone manual, and the assembly / tuning tools. There is NO manual for theCALRAD SWR meter that is included in this package. Look over the photos and Ican provide more photos if you want to see more.

September 21st UPDATE:
I discovered a miracle called JIG-A-LOO which is non-oily non-staining lubricant. The Mic Gain now moves freely, better than when new!
