[Hallicrafters] SX-28 front panel color

[Al Parker]

Hi Scott,
    I'm not sure what/where the black/gray is that you're referring to.
I've only seen (in the "flesh") black ones.  Take a look at mine on my
website.  It's black, the "A" I have now, and one I had b4, were black, as
far as I can tell.  The cabinet is another question.  It's gray-blue.  Take
a look at the inside of the bottom panel.
