[Boatanchors] Halli SX-111

[rbethman]

The chassis ID is a stamp placed on the very first R-390A contract 
delivered.  The contract is date 1951, even though delivered until 
either 1954 or 1955.

That Particular stamp was placed on the side of the IF module .  It IS 
Collins, and part of the first batch of the R-390 cost reduction issue.  
It was loaded with "bumble-Bees" as you phrase it.  The bypass ones do 
from time to time create a Catch-22 such as Glenn stated.  This is at 
455kc not 50.

That is a Collins part No.  It also has Mod 1 stamped on the top of the 
chassis.

Whom at Collins designed this "may" be able to be found, but I do not 
have it.

I have four different signal generators.  I have 4 VTVMs,  I have he 
audio meter that the military issued.  About the only thing I do NOT 
have is a spectrum analyzer.  I've made do with the Kenwood BP-8 built 
into the SM-220.

I've spent my time working on engines as well, including the German 
Taunus 2L racing engine.

It got personal to me when you posted that I should take my meds and see 
a doctor immediately.  If you do NOT, then there happens to be a very 
different perspective regarding English.  I may indeed be a Viet Nam 
Veteran whom was in the rice paddies and jungles while others worked or 
played with radio.  I am NOT a trip-wire Vet.  Just one whom put people 
back together long enough to get them evacuated to someone that could go 
beyond the scope of what I could do.

Ball is in your court.  However, I'll state that you are not the 
absolute reference nor authority.
