[Hallicrafters] Silver faced SX 28s?

[Rick Smedberg]

Yes Lloyd, ther is a chrome sx-28. It has been spotted ocasionally.
I will bet that many more black face sx-28's have a hart of crome, or
some kind
of plating. A friend of mine has a nsa sp-600 hammerlund and it was the
same way.
after removing the bad paint job a beautifull chrome front! It must be
some
kind of goverment thing.So polish it up and enjoy.
