Hello.
Looking for a few bits for a Hammarlund HQ140X (this has been posted to the hammarlund reflector)
1. Meter. My meter sticks a bit, I would be happy to send you my meter if you want it in partial trade.
2. Sheilding cover. Not sure the right term for this, but it covers the variable capacitors. When one opens the top lid of the radio, my variable capacitors are visible. I have seen other pictures of 140X where there is a cover. I am looking for that cover and whatever screws might be needed to affix it. A picture can be seen at http://hertzmail.com/hq140x/HQ1402.jpg which is my machine where the cover is missing and http://hertzmail.com/hq140x/HQ140CVR.jpg where the cover is present (not my machine).
3. My Audio Gain knob is a darker brown than the other knobs. Anyone have a light brown audio gain knob? Actually it appears to be the same as many of the other knobs on the set. Or, I would consider buying a whole set of light brown knobs in good shape if someone had one. Can be seen at: http://hertzmail.com/hq140x/HQ1401.jpg
4. The front panel is in pretty good condition, but curious if someone knows of a service to repaint/silkscreen them...
5. The cabinet is ok, but has several scratches, etc. It seems the paint on the cabinets for the 140X is interesting, not a straight color or finish. Anyone know a reliable place to respray the cabinet?
THANKS!
Eugene
