[Hallicrafters] Converter for SX-101A?

[Dave Moorman]

If you found an parts SX-101A cheap but which had all the rf stage parts
intact, you could probably replace the coils and caps in the converter
positions with 10M ones, and then have 10M for listening directly and the
converter IF at 10M for 6 and 2.  No switching cables, etc.
