Description

Up for auction here is a
Vintage Heathkit DX-40 Transmitter comes with the Complete Heathkit Manual
. This
item appears to be in good cosmetic condition with usual signs of use such as scuffs, scrapes, scratches and paint chipping.  There is a small crack in the meter plastic cover and we did take a photo and we did circle it in the photo so you can see in photo number 4.   We did plug in the unit and it did power on as you can see in the photos.  This item came from a silent key estate and was said to be in working condition, however, no further testing has been done by us other then plugging in the unit.  Item is being sold "as is" for parts, repair or restoration only, due to no knowledge of the units and how to work them.  Estate find and was said to be working, however, we have not tested any further then plugging them in and powering them on.  Please ask question before bidding and please view all the photos as it is part of our description and please bid accordingly.  Please remember the shipping calculator is for shipping and handling costs estimation purposes only and doesn't always reflect correct shipping cost.  So if you send us your shipping information we will be happy to get you a more accurate cost for UPS or shipping.  If your item is being shipped USPS Priority Mail or USPS Priority Flat Rate your invoice total will reflect proper insurance and tracking or other delivery confirmation costs for buyer protection and ours.  Items will ship once payment has cleared.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding.
** This equipment is part of a silent-key estate, all items have been in a storage, sometimes for many years.
We have not done any testing beyond what is specifically mentioned above.
There are a few reasons for this, but it essentially it comes down to the fact that they almost always need some level of service whether it is a cleaning or just a fine tuning. It may or may not need components replaced (caps, resistors, tubes, etc), controls cleaned/lubricated, alignment, and so on. Again, this unit is being sold 100% as-is. **
SHIPPING NOTE:
Due to the Virus, we will only be shipping once a week to help protect against the spreading of the virus and to help protect ourselves from this virus.  It may take up to 5 or more days depending on the day and time that the listing ends.  We hope everyone understands and PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY IN THIS VERY TRYING TIME.
NOTE:
If an item arrives damaged please let us know as soon as possible so that we can place a claim with the shipping company. Do not send it back until the package has been inspected by the shipper company, otherwise the claim will automatically be denied by the shipping company no matter which company is used for shipping ( UPS, USPS FedEx etc.) They all require the original packaging material and box for them to inspect and has to be at the ship to location  (destination).
