[Boatanchors] Seeking Hallicrafters SR-160 Front Panel

[wa9wfa]

Hi all, I know this is a long shot but I’m seeking a nice condition Hallicrafters SR-160 Front Panel preferably, or even a junker SR-160 with a good panel.

I just bought an SR-500 Tornado and wouldn’t mind replacing the front panel.  I’m the type that can’t leave things alone and always like to putter with the gear.

The SR-500 front panel is actually the SR-160 front panel with the addition of the metal TORNADO label below the escutcheon, and it covers the SR-160 silkscreen.  The Tornado label can removed by heating the panel in the oven until the adhesive gives, then move it to the SR-160 panel.  

I think it would be a fun project.  If you have one or know of someone who might have one, I’d sure appreciate hearing from you.  

Thanks.  73, Scott WA9WFA
