[Boatanchors] Atlas RX-110/TX-110

[N4ch at aol.com]

Thanks, Bob.........and OK on your "special" cabinet for your  RX-110.   
The Atlas RX-110 "Special" was silk-screened as such on the  front panel.   A 
picture of my RX-110 Special (as well as a photo  of the "plain" RX/TX-110 
pair) is on page 102 of K9OCO's "50 Years"  book.   Unfortunately the front 
panel on my "Special" is not 100%  original, as someone sadly just HAD to 
replace the 1/8" phone jack with a larger  1/4" one.   Oh well.......
 
Yes, ALL the Atlas 180/210/215/X transceivers had great  receivers; the 
crystal filters (8 poles) were significantly better than most of  the other 
ones out there (most of the competition used 6 poles) 35+ years  ago.   Atlas 
paid a lot of attention to layout and gain  distribution to take advantage of 
the extra selectivity these filters  afforded.

One I have  here is special but not the official "Special".   I don't 
know  what became of the original cabinet, but someone made a replacement 
out of  light gauge stainless steel!    Beautiful workmanship, looks like  
it could have come from the factory, and it sure looks  distinctive.   
I'll check my file to see if I have anything  other than what you already 
have.
