I have a bunch of SX-71 parts for sale.  Front panel, case, dial plates, 
power transformer and a couple of chokes, one audio and one filter, 
S-meter and 4 knobs.

To bad there is no requirement for any of the coils.  Nice forms and 
could be rewound for however many turns you might need.  No idea what 
the values for the slugs are because nothing is shown in the manual.  
The two main tuning knobs were Collins type knobs and not the regular 
Hallicrafters type.  whats left of the junker will go to the dump.

The manual i have that shows a top view of the chassis and what tubes 
are where shows indicates the BFO tube as a 6SG7 while the schematic 
shows a 6SC7.  Maybe whoever printed out the manual got a page or two 
confused as i don't know which radio run i have now, run 2, 3 or 4.  The 
schematic also shows a switch for the AVC but my radio doesn't have that 
either and i know it's not the SX-71 RU as that has the power 
transformer that can be switched from 120 to 240V ac.  so what do i have?

I'd like to find a really nice front panel for an sX-100. Mine is about 
a 7 or so but if i'm going to keep it, and it works remarkably well, i'd 
like to find a bit better front panel.
