I had the six meter version.  It would be fun to have a ten meter one. 
I also converted a cb He-20 which was the cb version of the same radio, 
except it ran a 12aw8 as the 5 watt final.  It was a snap to convert the 
he-20 to ten as it used a 1650 if, so all you had to do was swap 
crystals and retune.
