[AMRadio] Hallicrafters SX 100 MK 2

[Rob Atkinson]

what do you mean it doesn't turn off?  the filaments stay lit?  That
may be by design.  Some of the tube rx kept the filaments lit on
purpose.

It is probably safe to assume that any 50+ year old receiver that has
never had any work done on it will need alignment.
