And it arrived yesterday. It has some problems, but I'll get them worked out in short order.

Good luck!!

I miss my "classic" station.
When I was a Tech, I'd gotten my hands on an HW-100, but wasn't quite happy with it; it had had some problems at a club Field Day, which were probably more related to the environment at the time. So I ended up working out a trade with then-KC3CL (now K3SK), who needed a smaller rig. He got the '100, I got an HT-37 & an SX-101A. I already had an SB-301, ended up selling the SX-101A for more than I paid for the '100... I wouldn't do that now, but at the time, I needed the $$$.
So when I finally got on the air for real, so to speak, it was with an HT-37, SB-301, and a little Dentron Jr. Tuner & a "ham" Lafayette SWR bridge.
Over time, the originally '37 smoked a power transformer, it's replacement got sold when I was out of work; the SB-301 got loaned out, came back DOA, and was sold off; the Dentron was loaned to a student of mine who joined the Peace Corps, took it to 6Y with him, and never came back. The SWR bridge I still have; it's one of the few pieces of my old WN2 shack I have left (along with a J-38 straight key my Boy Sprout troop gave me, and an Ameco AC-1 transmitter), and I've since picked up another Dentron Jr. Tuner.
One of these days, I'll get my hands on another HT-37. Too bad that they've become "collectors" items now, they used to be plentiful (the power transformer usually smokes, though, it just doesn't hold up after 50 years), and another SB-301.
In the meantime, though, I have a Swan 350 station to rehab. Complete with mobile PS, and several matching accessories...

My brother (The former KA9MOT) gave me his old Novice Station, a HT-37 and SX-101. I had my oldest carry it in the house for me. He carried both (You know how heavy that HT-37 was), the receiver on top, and dropped them in the laundry room. I could have killed him. Did you know that is real glass covering the dial on the SX-101? It breaks :(

If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
OK, I figured out that this rig only oscillates in the USB mode. It's a place to start.....
