This is a Heathkit model # UT-1 Utility AC Power Supply from the estate of a
local Amateur Radio Operator. It will supply the necessary operating voltages for many of the 1960's/70's vintage HF Ham Radio stations, including a separate Transmitter and Receiver setup, or HF Transceivers - including brands other than Heathkit. It was originally intended to provide AC power for the Heathkit MT-1 "Cheyenne"mobile Transmitter and MR-1 "Comanche" mobile Receiver, when using them together as a base station. It provides the High Voltages for the Transmitter, Receiver, and either 6.3VAC or 12.6VAC filament voltage. Check your individual manual for the voltage requirements for your radio.
This is the original AC Power Supply that Heathkit made, before coming out with the HP-20, HP-23 and PS-23 series AC Supplies. Since this Power Supply is not tested and is sold as-is, it is listed under eBay's condition listing as "for parts or not working." The bottom metal cover is not included, and the rubber feet are not original. A photocopy of the manual is included.
SHIPPING INFO:
The major shipping
companies –
USPS, FedEx and UPS - all greatly increased their shipping rates this
month. USPS went
up 16% for their least expensive ground shipping! The shipping charges
for this UT-1 will be $48.85 via either FedEx Ground or USPS Parcel
Post to CONUS (ONLY)
locations, with careful packing. Local pickup, of course, would be
welcome and much preferred. Any International sales must use eBay's
Global
Shipping Program service, where I ship the unit to a USA address, they
take
care of any necessary customs, etc. paperwork, and then ship to the
winning
bidder.
The shipping charges are based on
USPS charges to USA destinations for other very recently-shipped items of about
the same size and weight to the Midwest USA, the packing materials, and a 20-mile round-trip drive
to the nearest Post Office. Please also remember that both eBay and PayPal take
a percentage of the shipping charges, which increases the cost for the seller
to ship items to the winning bidder.
Please see my other auction listings, including additional Amateur Radio and
electronic test equipment. Thanks for looking!
