[Boatanchors] Hallicrafters SX-88 dial belt

[McDonald, J Douglas]

My SX-88s frequency dial "shutter light changer" belt died. I've seen
numerous articles in groups like this about them ... but nothing recent except
that a batch of new ones made some years ago seems (and I do emphasize seems)
to be sold out.


What to do!?

of course the radio still works, and you can move them by hand

There is a Hallicrafters list on groups.io with over 1800 members.

A majority of acceptance is not proof of correctness.
