David,
  I have a Heath HW-101 (aka Hot Water 101) with RIT mod (have manual),
Yaesu microphone and chrome Bencher paddle with MFJ electronic keyer.
Everything works well and is in good shape (the key and paddle are like
new).   I also have a Robot 800 early RTTY/CW terminal with tech manual
(never really explored all it's functions but it did decode some CW to
a composite monitor, so I'd mark that as "as is" condition).
  I'm an on again off again SWL that acquired this gear about 4 years
ago when I got the bug again to study for a general license.  As has
been the case in the past, I was interdicted (changed jobs and states)
and never got back to it.  So the equipment is readily available for
someone who has the time I don't.  If you're interested, make an offer
and we'll go from there.
