I have a 1960's era Heathkit shortwave radio [View all]

Still has the manual.

Any idea?

If it is worth something that would be a bonus, but I would really like to just get it to someone who appreciated.

I've felt obligated almost to lug it from place to place since my older brother gifted it to me (Nearly 45 years ago..yikes)
