[Boatanchors] FS: 2 HQ-170's

[Al Parker]

Hi folks,
    I have 2 HQ-170's for sale, both have been completely refurbished, and
work well.  Hammarlund's original ad for the 170 said, "for single sideband
at its very best."  The HC-10 SB convertor has the same IF as the 170, so
it's good.  The 170 is ham-band only, 160-6 meters, triple conversion on 40
& higher, double on 160 & 80.

HQ-170   nr 268, finished 3/22/02   price $375 plus shipping
    Cabinet stripped & repainted, panel stripped, painted, silk-screened.
Electrical work done as req'd (not much), added fil. xfmr to keep 1st conv.
osc. filament on all the time, similar to the "A" model.  Full alignment.
This unit has the original 12 hr clock, and lighted, translucent scale,
yellow, meter.  This is a very clean receiver, as can be seen at the
following link.
    Probably more pix than you care to see may be found at:

HQ-170   nr 104, finished 5/23/02   price $300 plus shipping
Cabinet stripped & repainted, panel stripped, painted, silk-screened.
Electrical work done as req'd (not much), added fil. xfmr to keep 1st conv.
osc. filament on all the time, and SS rectifier, similar to the "A" model.
Full alignment.  This unit has a "quartz" digiclock, and a white faced meter
from a different HQ model, that's not back-lit.  There are 3 added jacks on
the rear skirt, RCA for 6m ant., BNC for HF ant., RCA for IF out.  There are
4 small holes in the cabinet top, which have been filled with very small
flathead phillips screws, painted to match, almost indiscernible in the pix,
and a very slight dimple near them.  (A prev. owner had mounted a speaker in
the cabinet.)
    again,  more pix may be found at:
<http://www.thecompendium.net/radio/HQ1702.html>
(note the 2 links are different, but each is accessible from the other.)

A digital manual is included, with some pertinent other info, on a 3-1/2"
floppy disk.
If any questions, please email directly.
