Minty Heathkit SB-301 Tube Ham band kit Receiver demo by D-lab

A very nice Heathkit receiver. This one looks like new. Operates as well. Has all 3 filters installed. Comes with the matching SB-600 speaker and original manuals. These were Heathkits line to compete with Collins twins. Great piece of history

Nice radio. I have had the set for almost 20 years, I am ashamed to say they haven't been turned on in a long time. I need to check my caps and get the set back into working condition. 73 N5UEB

In my experience with an SB-301, they have beautiful handling of strong signals on SSB and CW. I used to QSO with a friend of mine who was just two blocks away and his signal always pegged the S-meter, yet the audio from the SB-301 was always crystal clear.

That is a beautiful piece. Thanks for showing. Did it have the converter installed, too? I'm assuming not, because you are thorough in your videos, and you didn't show it on this one.

This receiver have been used in the film called "Frequency"

I just picked one of these up for about $225.00. Not too bad a price and I can't wait to get it. I'd like to find an SB-310 one day also.

Nice radio. My first one was inherited from my uncle when he passed away. Got the entire matching Heathkit lineup from him. Try to fire it up at least once a week and enjoy it. A true boat anchor jem.

Same unit as in the movie "Frequency". Watching it right now. Kinda weird seeing this model both here and there at the same time. It's like I'm ridin a similar sunspot as in the movie.

What a lovely looking Heathkit SB-301 receiver, with it's attractive two tone colour design, fab S meter, very nice ergonomics and narrow filters. It's still hard to beat a good old fashioned hand built steam radio tube receiver, for listening satisfaction at it's best.

I've had Heathkit, but no Collins.  Never operated a Collins.  Don
