This is a Henry 2KD-Classic that came to me for an overhaul. A friend bought it off eBay, and it came in as a mess. It was shipped with the plate transformer installed (bad idea!), the cabinet was warped and twisted, wires broken, hv filter module barely held in place, filament transformer missing hardware and partially slung apart, had a broken fuse holder, wires and components twisted together, high voltage wire wrapped with electrical tape, taps broken from the tank coil, blower assembly, and rear panel flopping about, broken tube socket, etc. These things don't ship very well. Additionally, it needed recapping, some of the tuned input coils were broken off of the mounts, the output so-239 was broken loose from the cgassis, needed a plate relay, and a lot of work in the tank circuit. It's sad to see such a nice amplifier in this condition. I got it all back together and on the air. Here's a few pics and videos...
I've been in Amateur Radio since 1974, and still find new and interesting things to do. I like to build, restore, and operate on the air.
