This is a Heathkit VF-1 that I got from a friend. This was released around 1952 as a matching VFO for the Heathkit AT-1 transmitter. These have been found paired up with a multitude of transmitters. This unit was miswired internally, needed some TLC, and repair to the octal plug and power cord. I'm not sure it ever worked correctly, but it does now (with my DX-40). I cleaned and repainted the cabinet, and compounded and waxed the faceplate. I can't believe the dark wear mark across the front actually came out!
