[AMRadio] Hallicrafters SX 100 MK 2

[Brett Gazdzinski]

I never had one so I can not be of much help, but...

Alignment issues show up as a not very sensitive receiver, poor pass band, 
frequency on the dial off.

The switch sounds easy, as power on needs a connection, and a good one to 
pass the power to light the tubes and dial lights.
Not a dead spot in the switch but some contacts shorting or touching when 
they are not supposed to.
