Up for sale is very nice Heathkit Gr-64 Shortwave Receiver....this unit is very clean! Inside of unit looks brand new!! Unit powers up but I was unable to get any stations. Probably because I don't have a proper antenna. Speaker does work from the static that I got out of the unit when I turned it on. Outside of unit is in pretty good shape except for a few scuff marks.

Good luck!

Peace,
