[Hallicrafters] Help with parts for an SX-101 (any variant)

[rbethman]

Mark,

    I also have one of these.  Fortunately it is wholly intact and 
functional.

    Try looking at "other" Hallicrafters radios, I.E., SX-99 or such.  
They appear to use the same coil forms.

    Lots of luck on the main tuning knob!  I found one in the darndest 
place.  It was installed on the HT-32A I bought along with it.  Now I 
need an HT-32A tuning knob.
