#1 comment and is an honor for me. I discover your channel reacently and let me tell you that I am GLAD. I suppose I never will find here (Argentina) a Heathkit in good state and functioning but if I find one (any condition) well .... I will give it a try. Gorgeous piece of equipments! Let me tell that your channel is very instructive and is It obvious that you are an expert in Heathkits and its repair. Cheers from Argentina! (LU8ARM)
Perfect timing Will! I have an SB-102, with low power on most bands. Upon inspecting the driver switch board and its shield, there are many broken solder connections to the shield. I'll get in there and solder them all up. BTW.. I'm the 5th commenter... LOL!
I view a situation such as this as opportunity (ie: a good excuse) to buy a new tool. A Hako desoldering iron, I should think. Thanks for the tip on the NTE wick and its many uses.
Great job. Thanks so much for posting this.

Poważna awaria. Ale naprawa dobra. Pozdrawiam
Yes it is a rather difficult repair , but not impossible .
