[Boatanchors] Hallicrafters Skyrider SX-28-A parts

Sun, 28 Apr 2002 08:05:58 -0400

Kevin - one source that occasionaly yeilds results for steering wheel knobs are old pieces of military hardware - I got one look alike off on an old WW2 destroyer range finder. You might check out Toronto Sceintific Surplus., and that other surplus store on Lawrence Ave. in Toronto - Toronto Surplus Sales - he used to have boxes of old knobs laying around off
thnings like that. I saw the SX28 there yesterday - nice radio - the fellow said he recapped it and had put several new tubes in it too. If you dont find a cabinet - it would look good in a rack - in fact Ive seen photos of banks of SX28s in racks used for monitoring purposes. Theres also 2 great antique radio clubs in Southern Ontario with vintage ham radio
collectors amongst them - one is in London - meets next Saturday - over 130 memebers, and another one in Toronto - you might meet someone there who can help - or / and we always appreciate new members. You might also check with the Hammond Museum in Guelph- they have a lot of old boatanchor items that are duplicates. They may be willing to trade ( I know they
trade with other museums) - I understand that museums cant sell assets that are given to them - but trading may be possible.

It is missing the bottom cover, case and one of the two tuning knobs (steering wheel type). If anyone can help me find any or all of these parts I'd be most appreciative. Thanks very much and 73
