I have a 1960's era Heathkit shortwave radio

because it is assembled and not unassembled and still in box with all it's paper work it is actually tremendously devalued from what it could be.

don't ask me why this is, it just seems to be a quirk with Heathkit collectors. they want it unassembled and in box.

best bet is look up the model number on ebay and look for sold listings and see what they are selling at.

i can tell you most heathkit stuff of this variety was mass produced and sold many units.

the stuff that really holds value is the unassembled still in box HF amateur specific, receivers, transceivers, transmitter, and linear amplifier kits.

these didn't sell as many units as the majority of the other kits due to their high expense which was beyond the majority of buyers.

i am a ham operator and would love to add this to my collection, actually fished the hallicrafters version of it out of a roadside trash can when i was a teenager. looked very similar to this one.

i am afraid i could not offer much more than shipping as i am on a very small fixed income.
