[Boatanchors] Hammarlund HQ-145 - Seeking Clock Plastic Cover

[wa9wfa]

Hi Dale, Thanks for your reply.  I really don’t know if the HQ-145 clock cover is the same dimension as the HQ-180.  I’d guess “yes” although I don’t know if I’d bet a good frosted chocolate raised donut on it… hi

 I’ve seen that website saying Dial Cover was sold and should be starting limited production later 2026.  

I’m hoping one of the BA list members here has some junker Hammarlund receiver parts unit and can remove the clock cover for my restoration project.

I’ve never owned an HQ-145 before.  I had an HQ-180AC back in 1968, then an HQ-180 and HQ-170 during my big radio collection years.  All that was sold off over the past 25 years.  I’ve sold nearly all my BA except for what is shown on my QRZ site photo.  Anyone looking for a Hallicrafters SR-500 Tornado and PS-500 power supply? Hi hi.

73, Scott WA9WFA
