[Hallicrafters] SX-115 Question

[Grant Youngman]

I finally bowed to the the inevitable, and just acquired a nice SX-115 
that should only need a bit of minor cleaning and an alignment 
touch-up to put in good shape.

I've noticed a little bit of backlash in the main tuning, and before I 
spend the time trying to fix something mechanical that can't be 
fixed, I wonder if anyone can tell me if it simply normal.  It's slight -- 
no more than maybe 200 Hz or so interpolating between the Khz 
markers on the tuning skirt, and shows up as dial difference 
between approaching a signal from above vs. below it's nominal 
frequency.

Seems to be a nice radio, but for sheer eye-appeal, it's still hard to 
beat the SX-101A  :-)

Thanks ... Grant/NQ5T
