All good info, Mike. Pointing out details on the schematic helps a lot. I just bought a DX-60 to restore and your videos will be a great help.

Nice, A blast from my past. The DX60B and HG-10B was my Novice setup back in 1974 along with my Hammarlund HQ110C rcvr. I miss those days but still a bit active on 40 and 15 m QRP with my heath HW-8 ;-) 73 de WA4JAT

Awesome Mike! Great job Thanks for the tutorial. Some of my parts have come in and are installed.

Great video, Mike, and thanks for the mention . I was going to rebuild stock . And like the t/r and push to talk mods you're speaking of . I would do the same . I will watch the videos over again to make everything sink in . 73

Ohh, I may be able to get my DX-60 on the air! Thank you very, very much for a most useful series! 73 N1ZUC

I'm working on a HW-100 1/2, the 1/2 is the additional filter, so both CW and SSB filters

Mike, I wish this series of videos were around when I rebuilt my DX-60B a few years ago. I have a stupid question, when you’re checking the values of resistors and capacitors, are you removing them to test or can they be done inline? 73 Lloyd - W1LBM

..I recall years back, guys would remove that low pass filter altogether.
