Ad Number:	1742825
Date Placed:	09/11/25
Name:	Timothy K Ewing
Phone Number:	E-MAIL ONLY
Callsign:	K3VFO
Category:	TEST
Heading:	Heathkit IM-18 VTVM (Restored)
Ad Message:	I'm asking $125 plus shipping to most locations in the USA. The sale will include the IM-18, manual and AC/DC/Ohms probe. . New off the bench, an extremely clean IM-18 VTVM with probes and a copy of the manual. Restoration effort is from 7/31/2025. . This VTVM didn't have a battery installed so all the parts and spring associated with battery look brand new. . As with all my restorations I mark up a printed copy of the manual. I do this to validate the assembly itself, identify any modifications, and to write down the measured values for every component for use in future comparisons. . This unit is absolutely superb, and every thing measured extremely precise. As standard practice I replaced the 16uF electrolytic capacitor (C1) and the 0.047uF tubular capacitor (C2). . Additional pictures upon request (although not seen, the red pilot light is on and working). . My callsign is K3VFO and I live in MD. My info in QRZ is accurate.

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
