[Hallicrafters] How to ID an SX-62a

[John L.]

I have an SX62A - it says SX62A right on the front panel. Im not sure if
Hallicrafteres marketed unamarked 62As or not - it is unlikely. You may get
different knob sets on one. Chuckies book -  "Radios by Hallicrafters"  - says
the 62 had speaker impedence outputs of 500 and 5000 ohms, the 62A has 3,2, 8
and 500 ohms speaker impedences. Hope this helps. Its a nice radio to listen to
- be sure you change out the paper caps.
