[Hallicrafters] Tell me about the SX-28

[Rich Oliver]

You can find SX-28's in whatever condition you want, up to around $300 
for one in excellent shape.  Many have fallen by the wayside over the 
years but Hallicrafters built 50,000 of these for the war effort so they 
are in no danger of extinction.  When you see WWII documentary footage 
with American SW radio receivers they are usually National HRO's, 
Hammarlund Super Pro's, or Hallicrafters SX-28's.

Cheers, Rich
