Built this rig and power supply over the summer of 1968 at the age of 12. Had a few mistakes that the local club helped me clear up and used it for 3 years until I saved up for a used TR-4. Thanks for posting and great job on the renovation.
Great Job OM and this rig is my favorite Heathkit the HW-100 was revolutionary it was affordable a rugged solid great radio I still have mine and it still surprises me with reliable performance. I use it out in the garage shop. 73 DE KE4EZ
This is a really stupid question so I apologise in advance, but with the power supply for these do you still need to plug it in somewhere or is it portable in that sense?

Yes, they are very nice radios... Just picked up a SB-100 (nearly identical design but more features) and got it on the air, too.
Thankyou for posting this. Got one of these at an estate sale as a fix up project.
It's one of the best radios of that era, and awesome to restore.

You have to plug in the power supply . There is no battery .
