Heathkit FM 4 Mono FM Tuner- Extremely nice Condition- Tested and Works(read)

Description

I am cleaning out my shop and need to get rid of some projects that either didn't get done or not even started. Some are tested and working, some tested and diagnosed. Please read escription carefully and ask any questions before you bid or buy. Once you purchase it. it is yours. My Tube Amp restoration business keeps me too busy to do my own stuff, with rare exceptions.
This is a very very clean Heathkit FM 4 Mono Tube Tuner. It probably spent its life inside a cabinet, as evidenced by it's lack of a metal case. The dial face, glass, knobs and chassis are in excellent condition and who ever built it did a very nice neat job.
I brought it up on a variac and no hum but it didn't receive any stations. I checked the tubes and had one very weak 6AU6 which I replaced with a good used one. After replacing the tube I was rewarded with very good FM reception up until about 95 on the dial. I assume an alignment will be be necessary for rest of spectrum. I was only using a 6 inch test lead as an ant. The pot was cleaned with DeOxit as well as the AFC switch. I do not have the factory manual to do the alignment.
You are buying this as described above and the pictures.

FED EX CUSTOMERS, IMPORTANT
: please add your PHONE NUMBER to your note in PayPal, as Fed EX requires this for all shipments
. Please note that if you pay on a Friday evening, I CAN NOT ship FED EX until MONDAY AM. If the sale price of an item is over 500 Fed EX requires a signature, I hate it but have no choice.
I want your item to reach you in great shape. I do NOT PROFIT from my shipping charges. Packing delicate items for survival is an art; it is time consuming and expensive. I charge only for the cost of the materials plus the actual shipping company costs. As examples, new boxes cost between -25 and a large roll of bubble wrap costs . Because all the major shipping companies will deny claims for items shipped in used boxes, I use new boxes for expensive and heavy equipment. I also double box any item that has tubes or glass, or is particularly fragile. This adds to the cost, but helps make sure your item arrives to you in the SAME CONDITION it was shipped. Proof of careful packing also facilitates any damage claims. (See below in FEEDBACK for general instructions on what to do if damage occurs during shipping.)
If you choose to ship by FED EX, and provided PayPal with a valid email address, you will receive tracking information from FED EX when your item ships, and communications regarding any issues they run into.
OVERSEAS BIDDERS- Because of negative shipping experiences to overseas addresses, I do not ship outside the US
I leave feedback when you pay for your item. When you receive the item, please unpack it right away, and carefully inspect for damage and function. Please leave positive feedback for me after you have verified this.
If the item is damaged, it is VERY IMPORTANT you keep ALL the packing materials and boxes until the shipper has inspected them.　YOU will need to file a claim with the shipper. In addition, please contact me, since we will need to work together to resolve the claim.
